I"m so Depressed and fatgued, and can't sleep from the back pain and restless legs!! My brain is shot too. Couldn't remember my phone number or address yesterday when asked.

This is horrible. I might cope better when my kids go back to school but their still home for 2 more weeks and I'm a mess.

Could this really be a herx? It has lasted for 12 days. First with the fatigue, followed by back pain and depression.

UGH! When will it ease up??? [toilet]

I just started amoxyl this week, and I am having the worst headaches since I started treatment in March!

I could not even sleep last night till after midnight when I finally got up and popped some aspirin and got a cold pack for on my neck.

I herxed on Doxy, but nothing, NOTHING, this bad. I'm trying to stay the course and push through, but it's hard.

Amoxy was tough for me. I herxed every time I increased the dose.

You would not think that amox would make you so ill since it's a drug used to treat children, but I herx pretty hard on amox.

I forget the name but it treats lyme differently then mino or doxy. I only took it for an ear infection I got but I experienced severe fatigue, pain, memory issues, muscle spasms. I was not expecting to herx like that but someone explained it's a different class of abx and treats lyme in a different way.
