I am just about to add in the GSE into my daily mix...something always stopped me before. not knowing what was causing what. I'm to take it twice a day. LLMD recommended tablets so I can continue to take it during the flagyl pulse (in case the liquid has alcohol in it) Can I take these with my abx (cipro, ceftin, flagyl?)

I took GSE INSTEAD of Flagyl, and i would never take cipro.

actually I have been feeling very good since starting cipro. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop, but keeping my fingers crossed that I may be just mopping up right now. but can I take the GSE with the abx or do I need space it out?

Double check with your LLMD, mine said that yes I can take it at the same time as my antibiotics.

I am taking Doxy, Bactrim DS, and Tindamax. Two days ago I took 4 drops of GSE and a few hrs later I got hit with waves of tingling and numbness in the limbs, nausea, and a deathly unsettling feeling.
It is very similar to what I experience when taking Amoxi for the first time, butt a lot more intense with the GSE. I will be trying it again tonight.
Drugs dot com shows no interactions of GSO (oil) with my listed meds. Please keep us informed and I will do the same.
Best of luck.

Well I have taken three more GSE doses and a larger one at that. Just like the Amoxicillin, it had a profound effect the very first time I had taken it, but subsequent doses were uneventful.

I haven't heard about reactions to various meds other than I was told not to take it with Mepron (an anti-malarial). It may be something your pharmacist can help with.

I am taking the GSE mid-day and away from my ABX. I take it with lots of other supplements. So far no problems doing it this way. I try to take as little as possible with my ABX. I hope this is the right way to do it.

My herxing increased after I started GSE (1000mg per day). I am on bicillin too. After a month or so, I am going to ask my doctor for tindimax. I want to get to symptom free and then get the cysts out...
Doing infra red sauna too. herxing from it.

Wow ! I wonder if this new tingles/jitters etc have anything to do with GSE..
I started it a bit before...Many other changes , so could be a co-infection getting hit from meds ..
