I'm on my 2'nd week of antibiotics. I take them

m,w,and f. I'm taking Cefdinir, Minocycline,

and Azithromycin. It seems that the days I

don't take them are the bad days. Today was my

4'th dosage, it was AWFUL. But I don't think

I'm herxing, because it's not my Lyme symptoms

that are bothering me, it's dizziness, light

headedness, throwing up due to dizziness. Will

this continue the whole time I'm on

antibiotics? When will the herxs start? How

will I know when I'm better if I feel like crap

from taking the antibiotics? I homeschool my 5

kids and days like today are discourageing. Ive

only been sick since late spring so I think I

should be able to beat it pretty quickly, but how

will I know. Thanks to all of you for the time

you put into this board.

Mino will make you dizzy. You can take Meclizine along side your abx to prevent the dizziness and nausea, providing it does not interact with your other meds.

Hang in there. Treatment can and will be hard. Tweak your meds if all else fails. You could switch out Mino for tetracycline or doxy if it comes to that...

You sound like you are in one right now. This is how it feels to herx!!

Hope it gets better soon!

Thank you both for the encouragement. This morning I'm feeling better, but it is antibiotic day. I'm drawing my strength from God and I know that this will pass. Blessing to all.
