My LLMD had me on a lot of herbs with the scripts. You can ask at the pharmacy or look online to see if there are any interactions.
Or, you can mention what you are taking here so we can share our experiences.

The above advice is good advice. Usually it is St. John Wart that interferes with MAIO's and it
usually will say it on the literature you get from the pharmacy. In most cases there is not any contraindication.
Can't see why Zyflammend would be a problem. Many of use similar supplements. It might actually be
working on bringing down inflammation, perhaps the reason your head felt a little weird. If so, that's a good thing.

What other supplements and meds are you on and how long have you been on ABX?

I honestly felt bad after the zyflammend. almost felt like I was high as a kite, then felt my head spinning, and then I laid down.
then after all this feel depressed.
don't know, but I don't like this ride. get me off.

Hope you are feeling better today? Unfortunately the treatment of Lyme brings on all kinds of strange sensations.
You are just about at the four week mark. Could be a herx starting. Hope you are doing better today.

If you take supplements along with ABX you should thoroughly research whether their is any known interaction. Some supplements augment the effectiveness of some ABX.
I always go to www.naturaldatabaseconsumer.com BEFORE addind anything to a regimen. It's a subscription service, but cheap...like $10/mo. or $50/yr. I found it well worth the money. FWIW, I have no financial interest in the site.
Be very careful asking for suggestions regarding drug/herb/supplement interactions from us here on the forum. Although well-intentioned, not all who respond have enough clinical knowledge to trust.
Just sayin'

I Googled Xyflamend. It has oregano in it, which is antibiotic/anti-parisitical. Perhaps you are having a slight herx reaction to the Xyflammend. I felt HORRIBLE during parasite cleanses (but they have to be done).
It looks like a REALLY good product! I've never heard of it before.

When I started taking Zyflamend I was told to start off with only one per day then increase to the 2 per day after about a week or two.
And be sure to take it with plenty of food and a full glass of water.
Try to give it a few more days to get used to it. It may just be a little strong for you right now. I remember the package insert warns of a warming effect, I can't think of how they phrased it but that also may be part of what you are experiencing.
Take care.

Perhaps it's a side effect? I always research all meds and their side effects before taking them. I am sensitive to meds so I have to. Hope you feel better!!
