SSS Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I am on Levaquin. It's a whammy of an antibiotic only used for Bartonella, not Lyme- I say it's a whammy, because it has a black box warning label on it (obviously, for adults only) but it can rupture tendons. It is important to take lots of magnesium 3-4 hours away from Levaquin, some say also Vitamin C, and I've read iodine, too (I am taking 1/2 tablet of iodoral.) Maybe she doesn't have Bartonella- but I can't see any Dr. giving her this antibiotic without some sort of indication- I had to have a positive test for Bart to get it. Oh, and I am NOT feeling great! No sir. I am on some herbals, too- detoxing, etc. Are you still feeling great on Doxy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNmom Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm told that Levaquin is a great drug for Bartonella. But, the herxing can be powerful - especially if given IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
