switching from aug to zith?

[abigails]

My 3 year old ds has been on Aug for the past 7 months. We had success with it at first but the past 2-3 months we have had lots of ups and downs with pandas symptoms returning. Our doctor has suggested we stop the aug and try zith. I don't know much about using zith. Anyone have any feedback or a similar experience?

When we first used zith it was very effective for us- we called it zithromagic. Several years later, not as effective as it used to be. We are staying w/ the zith (500mg every other day), but trying out a 10 day course of clindamycin once a month to see if we can get stability. What is happening for us is that the zith seems to be just holding something at bay (not sure what) for awhile, then we have a flare up and clindamycin clears it up, then zith keeps it at bay for awhile again....

Augmentin always causes bad yeast, no matter what precautions we take, so haven't used it much, although did just finish a course of amox last week (added to the zith) for a UTI and did not get yeast (yet).
