I have been on Bicillin shots since February. I do 1,200,000 units twice per week. In the first month or month and a half, I almost got my brain back. It was incredible. The brain fog lifted a whole lot.
Well, I got a virus, and loss my gains. Since adding tindamax, I am finally feel like I am regaining some mental ground.
My question is, how long would you stay on the Bicillin? My LLMD had originally mentioned six months. At what point is just a good idea to switch it up?

Bicillin is so helpful for many that typically it is the foundation for treatment. I know some people who have been on it a couple of years with benefit.
Kudos on finding something that helps you!

I asked my LLMD this question, and the answer was: as long as the patient can stand it (lol)
I did Bicillin 2x a week, with Tindamax 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off for a solid 6 months- maybe 7.
That's all I could stand it. Sure glad I did it.
