I am so sorry that you are feeling miserable.

When did you start the Mepron and what dose are you taking? What about the Zith?

Some people herx at day 3 on the Mepron. I started at a very low dose, around 1/4 cc. every day, and I herxed at day 3. Herxes are individualized and mine did not involve N&V or headache, at that time. A later herx did involve a headache.

My LLMD instructs us to stop meds at the onset of a herx. He says the Mepron/Zith herxes can be BAD.

My suggestion is that you call your LLMD and let him know what is going on. A Mepron/Zith herx has been known to put people in the hospital. I wouldn't take any chances here.

That seems to warrant a call to the doc.

Sounds like it warrants a phone call for sure.
Thanks.

Marble,

I threw up only once when I herxed recently at 3 1/2 weeks. The herx lasted 4 days. Achey, tired... blah blah balh. Luckily mine passed quickly. I didn't feel like I need to call the LLMD.

Tell us what the llmd says,
Heather

Nausea, headache and massive fatigue are waht I am feeling (and have in the past). I am on day 4 of a low dose of Mepron. So far the fatigue and nausea are the worst.

If you are vomitting it is a good idea to call your MD. Zith makes my tummy do somersaults so, it could be that.

Thanks for the responses. I took only Mepron last night. Today I just feel weak and weird.
