Since taking the antibiotics about 2 weeks ago I am afraid my brain is turning to mush! Headaches, inability to think straight, slight difficulty speaking, lightheadedness, pressure, moodiness, other neuro symptoms (numbness, tingling, etc). I actually think I am losing my mind. Sometimes it feels as though I am going to go crazy. The Paxil is helping but I need some Lyme help...

I think it is a neurotoxin thing but I need something to take the toxins out of the brain and CSF. Anyone out there have any advice? Anyone try a neuro detox protocol that worked? Help!

Thanks.

The liver cleanse I use is fine with abx, as far as I know, but the colon cleanses (with bentonite clay in them) bind up the abx and whoosh them out of the body if you're on orals.

I did take Questran while taking IV abx. Got a heck of a headache and generally felt dreadful the first time around for several weeks. By my third round of Questran I felt much better.

I have a file of all types of cleanses, detoxifiers, and a few herx management tools that I've collected; I can email it to you if you like. They've worked for me or for people I know at different times; I can't guarantee them but they might help.

There is also quite a bit on lymenet about cleanses and detox, if you search on those words. Interesting posts and links.

The stuff that has helped me the most with herx overload are Celebrex, Bextra, L-theanine, phosphatidylcholine, N-acetyl choline (NAC), flaxseed oil, coptis, and B vitamins. If you do a search, Marnie has written a lot about magnesium--there may be a post from the last two days.
