I was on zithromax for about 8 months took about a 3 months break. MY LLMD put me back on it for 5 days a week 500mgs. This added to my other regimate
Started this week with 250. Holy Moly I am herxing my butt off. Or so I hope.
Has anyone herxed from Zith?
Symptoms Joint Pain Muscle Pain and weakness Foot Pain in Arch Bad Shin Pain Shooting Stabbing pains. Feels like little bugs are biting me Twitching/Vibrating A lil itching
its awful. I tried epsom salt baths all weekend but nothing helped.

I know this doesn't help much, but Zith pretty much just made me sleepy/fatigued.

I added Zithro 2 days ago in conjunction with plaquenil and I feel awful -
Muscle pain and extra twitching began with plaq, but when I added the zith I got extremely tired and I got more joint pain. Not sure if this helps..I will keep you posted as the days go on with the zith.
Lymelogged - I am extremely tired and fatigued with zithro too - is this a herx?

I agree with Putnam - Bart herx. Stick it out! My LLMD treated my Bart with Zith and the first 6 weeks I herxed like mad with the symptoms you listed above.

yup to all of your sx tricia386- If it gets too unbearable do call your LLMD and find out if he/she is comfortable if you start off on smaller doses and ramp up. I also found that stopping a drug then re-starting was more difficult- something about our bodies thinking it's a foreign invader or something the second time around.
Hope it improves for you!
