Be sure you know it can cause depression. Just want you to keep a heads up on that.

Onward, forward!

For 3 months I have been on Amoxicillin and Azythromycin

Lymetoo: I am afraid of the depression as I am already depressed and cry myself to sleep every night

If I get any deeper than this, I don't know what I'll do

I have a positive reaction to Flagyl and yes some herxing but no depression or other side affects and soon after starting it.. feeling better .. Was on IV though And orals are a different story for me.

Good Luck

Counter pulsing the art and flagyl alternately
makes a great deal of sense, I am doing it myself
also taking zith , bactrim , doxy too. Yes I did have a muscle and nerve shooting pain type herx that was sort of awesome. Wish I had epsom salts then, I sure have them now. For me flagyl is a definite upper, it is number one and bactrim number two for me in the mood department.

Lightspeed to you.

Your urine may turn brownish-red while on the med, and it takes awhile for that to go away after. I understand this is a benign thing....nothing to worry about.

But I am not an MD....just passing along something that I experienced, as have many, on this med
