JenniferG Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) I started dd9 on Enhansa on Friday. Over the weekend she felt nauseous and yesterday developed a low grade fever. Is this typical? She also takes Augmentin Biaxin and is on a steroid taper. Her anxiety/OCD has been greatly escalated. I am sure you are familiar with what's going on here. BUT yesterday she crossed the street and played with her friends all afternoon!!! Without me!!!! First time since September! It could be the Enhansa? Steroid? Combo??

SSS Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm not sure I would have started Enhansa while on a steroid taper... My understanding is the steroids 'shut down' the immune system, and Enhansa can produce viral and/or yeast die off in some folks (did in this house) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferG Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 That would explain why she feels so horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeny Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 If you go to the lee silsby website on enhansa there is a section on die off/ herx- to definitely expect it. What dose did you start on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferG Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 150mg with Breakfast. It is supposed to be for 5 days then go up to 2xday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeny Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I would see how things are going on day 5 and maybe hold off if you are still seeing herx. Maybe stay on low dose for two weeks. I think I kept at 150 for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
