Am now on my 9th or 10th week of Levaquin with Zith just started last Friday. I will run the Lev course and consider the Roceph again for the lyme and prostatitis. Any disadvantages with using the injections opposed to the IV. Just so darn costly with the IV's and pretty hard to get around.

What about IM BIcillin!>?!?!????? and IV Rocephin- you can get generic ceftriaxone MUCH cheaper now because Rocpehin is off-patent.
IM Rocepihn- I have only met a couple of people who have ever done it- it HURTS- it BURNS- it is pAINFUL! I wouldn't do it!!!!
I'd go for IM Bicllin!!! Best wishes, Sarah

Hi, I have been doing IM Rocephin (generic) since last January. I have always hated injections but I am now used to it. If the Lidocaine you use is a fresh bottle and not cross contaminated, it keeps the pain to a minimum.
Depending on where I inject, there is no pain at all. I like the top of my leg several inches above the knee. That is my least sensitive area.
