Hi, I've used samento from week 7 of my treatment until the present (11 months total of treatment) on my LLMDs recommendation. He is also using that as the primary antimicrobial for my son. Progress with this disease is slow, so it's difficult to say what symptoms and changes are attributable to what medicine. I am (and have been) on several meds/herbals/homepathics, as is my son. I can say that my son's test scores in spring of 2011 dropped into the 30th percentile, down from upper 90th in Jan of that year. Once we figured out it was Lyme (Dec 2011), he was put on Samento. This May, his test scores finally started rising back up into the 70-80's for percentile. HUGE difference in his memory and cognitive function. I have seen my joint pain decrease quite a bit. I'm still struggling with babesia. Brain is clearer than it used to be, but still have fog and memory, word choice issues. As far as mood, I can't really tell you what is attributable to anti-microbials vs. anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds. These symptoms became overwhelming for me, and I had to change and increase my meds to address them. I am glad I did, as it makes it MUCH easier for me to comply with treatment and to ensure my son does too. My LLMD says we'll both be on Samento the whole time. I was on Banderol for a month I think, but that is it. Hope that helps. I am not a doctor, just a patient striving for recovery and hoping to offer support to others, too! Many blessings to you!
