Doing Malarone, Omniceff, Levaquin....just want to be sure of the dosage. I am taking 2 per day. Is that enough...I read somewhere it should be more.

Well, that's the million dollar question. On the LymeMD's blog he talks about 1 malarone a day for several months. He says the dosage isn't as important as the length of time. He has seen some great results with it, according to his internet blog.

If you check with some posters on Lymenet, they like mepron better (ie. Sixgoofykids)

The gal that I spoke to on the phone from the Michigan Lyme Assn. said that half do better on Mepron, and another half do better on Malarone.

I guess the best dose is the one that you can tolerate and that gets you well.

IMO,
