Finished 5 months abx..doxy tetr biaxin ceftin...had a few good days.
Last week started Cymbalta 60mg., Mino 200mg, Diflucan 200mg...somthin for vertigo Day 3 of Cymbalta had an out of body experience...started mino that day...completely lost my barrings...lost in my own house...could not undertand anything on the tv or follow a confersation.
STopped Cymbalta continued with the rest...was driving before cannot now...I look outside and it seems like a still photograph..meaning unreal or Im disconnected...
THANK GOD today I can read a few lines but still cant understand verbal conversation.
The cymbalta was added because Deppression was extreme...tremors every 4 hours..clonipin knock that out.
My vision is distorted.. rooms look more like a mattise painting and everything is snowy and dark...especially faces
Indirect lights confuse me more than direct sun..I cant grip future thoughts like understanding a weather forcast if I see 7 days in a row pictured.
My tongue has been slimy not hairy black for 2 weeks...Have extreme pressure above and below eyes..I think everything put me into toxic herx shock...
One or should I say a other weird note... when I put on light blue elton john style glasses ...it helps me trmendously to think...almost like the blue light is filtering and ingniting thought...
LLMD said adverse reaction to cymbalta...chill out detox and stay on diflucan and mino....im holdin on by a thread..

How awful! My Lyme hubby was prescribed Cymbalta, but only took it briefly before our psychiatrist told him to stop immediately.
Good luck on your recovery. Everything seems to take so long, huh?
As for the thrush, I reached the point where I needed a 15-day run of 100 mg Diflucan to get rid of it. Then, the Diflucan would no longer even effect it. Had to buy "SuperDuper" acidophilus pills and take one after each meal.
I'll be praying for you.

Lexapro pushed me over the edge in two doses. Took a little ride in an ambulance.
The only thing that saved me -was the memory of my college days-and realizing it was a drug reaction screwing up my head-and if I could ride it out I would make it back to safer ground.

No experience with Cymbalta, but I did initially have a "psychiatric herx" with the mino, also disoriented, disconnected, and kinda drunk...
Singing ang laughing to myself. Aware of what I was doing, but couldn't care less. Some oxygen helped (I have some in the house because of breathing issues) Told friends I was tripping.

Thank you all....your responses have greatly helped.
My knowledge of SSRI's, having taken over 8 types in my life kept me from being put in the psych ward.I had a reaction like this to SERAZONE.As some know stopping an antidepressant can be even more nutty than the adverse reaction ..but theres more to the picture....
The DIFLUCAN and MINO must be very powerful in them selves. Its the first time I have been treated with them. So its the first time in my life I was treated for yeast and fungus plus adding a true BBB abx.
The out of body feeling is gone, but the cognitive stuff is still heavy.I truely believe that my cognitive impairment is steming from the fungus and yeast die off plus the action of Mino agaisnt Bb.
Twice a day I been throwing up thick very white stuff being pulled from sinus and upper stomach...never any gastro food stuff. The more it comes out the clearer I get. hence the pressure on my eyes and head goes down..
The complexity and multitude of different toxins is amazing that surround this disease and how they affect the brain, not to mention the ones that occur from the treatment itself...
Today I can drive...48hrs ago I couldnt find my way out of the living room...thanks once again to my friends at Lymenet
