I was doing really well, now I'm backsliding. I have been on bactrim for almost a year (with zith) for bart/babs. I'm thinking of switching to malarone or mepron-what herbs can I take to keep the bart down?
My main lingering symptoms are tight chest, fatigue, occasional shortness of breath and POTS< which is gone some days, bad on others.
Anyone get rid of babs with juwt bactrim?

Hi Shoney
The good effect of bactrim dose ware off - for me it was about 8 months -
You did take Artemisinin also ?? (ART)
Its important to take Art it helps in preventing relapse -
You can get Mepron for free from -- Bridges to Access . com --
They are real nice and helpful -
Many of the Quinine type meds help with Babs-
You can drink Tonic Water -Amazingly it helps
Tonic water has a small amount of Quinine in it -buy at store by the beer-Mixers section- Get the diet kind - 1 to 2 liters aday -

Did the effects of bactrim wear off 8 months after you stopped taking it, or while you were on it?
My LLMD wants me to take bactrim/zith for 1 week, then malarone/zith for the next, and keep alternating.

Why did I think that you should not take tetracycline, doxy, or mino with mepron.... I thought it lowered the absorbance???
