Ok so my LLMD told me to start taking samento and banderol. Ive been taking them for about 3 weeks now.
I started with one drop of each in the morning and at night.
I'm currently up to 23 drops of each in the morning and at night.
Am I supposed to be taking this much? My doc never told me the dose amount to take. and the bottle says to work up to 30 drops of each morning and night. so is this what I should be doing?!?!?
Thanks!

Holy Cow that's a lot of drops! LOL...
I think I got to 5 drops each 2x/day and that proved to be to much. Went back down to 3 and now stopping altogether. LLMD said we'll revisit that at a later time.

When I was on them, I took 30 drops of each 2 times a day. It took me a few months to work up to that amount. If you can tolerate it, that many drops is ok.

I am taking the Banderol drops and went quickly from 2,4,6,10,15 drops, each successive day. I can't say that I am herxing much though.
I have what I think are a lot of Bart symptoms though. Headache and neck stiffness, circulation issues, sore feet that come and go, petechia small red dots, purple stretch marks, and anger at times.

I tend to be sensitive to all things- prescription and otherwise and my LLMD suggested I get to 20-25 drops twice/day of Samento and Banderol.
I had some very predictive herxing on these treatments and really think they helped me.

Isn't there an 1-800 number on bottle ?? Ask them to mail any info they have.. I wouldn't shout out that you have Lyme .
You can usually get a sales person or one of the pharmacists to help a bit... Personally that sounds like a lot to me..
I got to about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Then got lazy and just restarted... How can I tell my doc "It'/whatever is not working,if I'm not doing as told . Bad me. :task:
I just read on another post you can take up to 1000mg Zith.. I didn't catch that in the 8th time I've read about this.. And by far I think that Zith has kept me alive or not further down than already am... If I wasn't on Avelox right now I would pop a couple///
Sometimes if I get just a little itchy ,I'll take a small Benadryl. Nonna
