I am really getting depressed. Was starting to feel sort of good-had a few days where I thought I "kicked" lyme. My LLMD decided we should try to wean off, felt left-over sx were adrenal, gut etc
Stopped zith Sat a week ago, kept up with 2 bactrim a day. The following Tues I felt awful-shakey, tired generally sick and horrible stomach (ongoing proplem), really bad palps and fast heartrate. Cut bactrim to 1x/day this past Sat-feel awful in the morning, somewhat better as the day wears on.
Today was awful-can you relapse that quick? I did start adrenal supplements, that's the only thing that changed-
Could it be my body is detoxing all the leftover stuff;relapse, adrenal issues gone wild?
Please help. LLMD wants me to tough it out to next week, then call-could be hormones?
I really don't want to go back on abx after 14 months. (I started tx 9 weeks after bite!)

Coinfections comes to mind

I would be concerned about coinfections, especially babs with the heart palps. And, babs symptoms can come back that quickly.
I had a short break of a week off my meds for GI issues. My babs symptoms came back in a couple days, so I was instructed to stay off all other meds and start the Mepron. Within a week, I started back on the others.
My LLMD has had good results putting people on Cowden herbs if they have trouble coming off abx when he's thinking they're done with treatment.

hey shoney, I am so so sorry to hear this is happening to you.
Do call your doctor and let him know you are not doing good. I am sure from there you guys can figure out a good plan to get you feeling better and on the healthy path again.
Try to stay positive, even though we all know it is hard to do. I myself am usually bumbed out. But we know staying positive is an amazing way to improve your health.
I want to see your name in the success stories. You will get there. Just keep that in mind. You WILL get there.

Thank you for your kind words-I just stopped the bactrim today. I started feeling crappy 3 days after I stopped the zith-my LLMD says bart comes back around 2 weeks, lyme a month. Didn't ask about babs.
I am going to try to tough it out-I feel my body is in "shock" from weaning off meds after over a year-especially zith. I've been on bactrim for 5 months..glad to get off it. I read it can cause hypoglycemia-not a good combo with stressed adrenals.
Anyone else have problems coming off meds..?
How long can you herx for after stopping meds?
PS_I did treat babs-3 weeks mepron with art, followed by 2 rounds of 3 weeks art, 1 off, then 1 month of malarone/zith/art. My LLMD said the bactrim would also hit babs.
