Neurontin (at night to help with sleep)
Armour Thyroid (Hashimoto's - believe it's Lyme induced)
Zantac (morning and night - GI problems from so many years of antibiotics)

Occasional advil liquid gel for cramps and stuff, maybe a few a month.

I found that pain meds don't work on me and make me really hyper, so really bother.

Xanax is my all time favorite and I feel great on it. Unfortunately, the doc won't let me be on them all the time. It's the only thing that stops pain enoguh so i can stay still and get some sleep and she doesn't want it to lose all effectiveness. I'm on a high enough dosage as is.

I'd be so much happier being on them 4 times a day. I was years ago when taking zoloft. It was all that was keeping me from being Richocet Rabbit.

Minocycline 150mg a week for Lyme

Levothroxin 200mcg a day - Hashimotos hypothyroidism for 24 years

Asprin/codeine for pain

Acidophilus, Caprylic acid, & Nystatin for yeast control

Multivitamin, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Milk Thistle

I can't tell you what will work for you, only what seems to be helping me so far. Remember, not only am I not a doctor, but I chose this regimen with full knowledge that it could have negative side effects. You should not feel encouraged to pursue this regimen in any way, as it is for educational purposes only.

I've been on it three months, and now exercise almost every day and work a challenging full-time job. The Lyme and babesia symptoms are still mildly present every day, and flare once a month. My adrenaline and cortisol levels have dropped so far from where they were, I have to relearn how to get energy and stay motivated.

This regimen is for Lyme, babesia, and systemic inflammation.

Omnicef 300mg/2x day
Ketek 400mg/2x day
Mepron 2 teaspoons/2x day
Artemisinin 100mg/3x day

For inflammation:

Celebrex: at your own risk
Bromelain: recommended by many Lymenet members
Theanine: active ingredient in green tea, recommended by many Lymenet members

For yeast:

Nystatin 3x day
Coptis extract 2x day (the active ingredient, berberine, is also found in grapefruit seed extract and, in smaller amounts, goldenseal extract)

Xanax is soooooooo much more addictive and problematic than valium. Valium got a bad rep decades ago, but people that work with drug abusers say that xanax is one of the worst script drugs out there. My friend who works at the jail/detox says that the WORST detox she ever saw was someone coming off xanax.

I beleive her, I had to come off it once and it was almost as hard as quitting smoking was, but MUCH worse as far as physical symptoms!

Please do your own research. I have seen many folks get addicted to xanax and not be able to have "normal" lives after prolonged use.
