On 250 mg/day. Should I up it to 600 per day or move on to Flagyl? Done w/doxy. I can't get anything other than Teva for Zith. thanks!

I've read Zith alone for Lyme has not proven to be as good as some of the other Meds. Test tube it's been good but taken oraly not so good.

I was told that Zith alone is only good for one month, after that It should be combined with another ABX to get any benefit.

I am crrently on month 2 of Zith/Ceftin combo. But honestly other than some mild herxing I haven't seen much improvement.

I was told tat it is alittle bit more of a broad spectrum combo if I remember correctly.

I will be starting a Doxy/Rifampin combo day after Xmas. Yippee! (not so much)
