Hi All,
I'm using three kinds of ABX on a pulsing schedule
Ceftin M/Tu/W/Th/Fr
Doxy - M/W/F
Tinidazole - Th/Fr

break Saturday and Sunday... do this for 2 rounds then break a week

So, I finished these 5 days and am now in my 2nd day "off" I was feeling GREAT when on the antibiotics this time - SO great... but after 24 hours from my last dose my symptoms started coming back. Now over 48 hours after last dose I'm feeling really bad. Is this considered a herx? Should I not do the week break and just get back on the Abx?

I thought you were suppose to feel worse when ON antibiotics, not on your break days?!

thanks for your advice!

The herxing happens whenever you reach the 'tipping' point with the toxins.

So, yes it is possible you can feel worse on the break days...as you've recently done a week of 'killing', and your detoxing hasn't kept up.

You may find on the week off..you start to feel better...after you've been detoxing without 'killing' for a few days.
