I started doxycycline, apo-HEPAT, and Mundipur last night.

Felt Ok this morning, but am starting to feel pretty crummy - really irritable, spacey, achey, slight headache, memory & concentration shot more than usual.

Herx or just a bad day?

Thanks,

Jordana

Totally depends... some herx after an hour of taking certain things, some never herx. Anything is apparently possible

What are HAPAT and Mundipur?

I didn't herx until 48 hours after my second antibiotic was added-

apo-Hepat and Mundipur are homeopathic forumulas the LLMD gave me to help detox

I came home to work from here for the rest of the afternoon. Feel very uncoordinated and super, super spacey. Have been feeling weird pains in places I didn't have them before too.

Guess it's a least the beginning of a herx.

Sounds like it is the beginning of a herx, irenwill!

Everybody is different. For me it depended on what I took, and the way I took it (eg. liquid, capsule, etc.). I think for each person asked, we'd get an unique answer. Smile

Thanks waxby, TRL, equestrian06, singfreebird. It helps to kind of know what to expect. And most especially that I'm not alone Smile

Somewhat better today ...

Ugh, symptoms kicking back in again. Guess that's my pattern for herx to start - 4-5 hours after meds in the morning. At least it means the little buggers are dying!
