Docs and Antibiotics

I have a new doc and an appt for the 3rd of Dec. I am now on Amoxicillian 500mg. Its doing ok...but i am not that much better. I am curious what antibiotic people take the most? And what works. I have took Amoxicillian several times in the last year and a half. This is number 5 or 6. I am herxing tho over it, so that means its working i suspect. lol

Based on what I've read about patient experiences, amoxicillin is a popular choice for treating Lyme, especially in younger patients.  Doxycycline is also widely used in treating Lyme.

I've taken neither of those two.  Depending on if/what co-infections the patient has, other meds/combinations can be effective.  I've been on several different antibiotics, including minocylcine, azithromycin, and factive.

Flagyl and biaxin worked well for my.. doxy, not so much. Plaquenil & Z-Pak is a newer protocol docs are using (well at least up here in canada, everyone knows how ignorant the canadian health care system is towrd lyme).. good luck!
