Kell,

The title of your post could describe me on any day during my herx week.

I think we probably all do somewhat. Our poor bodies are fighting for hard to

win the battle that is so much stronger that us and it is tiring. Don't worry

you are not alone.

[ ] grumpy, irritable and downright mean

I started abx 10 days ago. I don't feel quite as bad physically as a

few days ago, but I am very irritable and snappy. This illness has

made me more this way, but has anyone else experienced a change in

personality when first on antibiodics. I am very impatient and

snappy.

Kell,

I was on 56 days IVs, twice & I was very irritable, snappy. My husband & I

never used to argue & I would see him a few minutes before he left for work &

always found something to b--tch about! After I was done the antibiotics, there

was such a noticeable change. The nurses where I go & others I knew (who were

on meds), all said the same thing, so the antibitoics definitely

contribute/cause the irritability. I expalined & apologized to my family, but I

still felt badly. Hope it gets better!

Holly,

I have tried so much, Rx & supplements from Alternative doc & Psychiatrist you

can't even begin to imagine! & still trying! Nothing agrees with me & Paxil was

awful for me. Thanks for trying-I am glad it is helping you!

i don't take any meds at all - just vitamins, etc.

i have seizures, memory loss, speech slurring, and

other neurological symptoms. sometimes my brain goes

numb and it feels like i am going crazy. i get

incredibly depressed, also - sometimes really

incredibly depressed. i am still working because i

just don't want to go on disability yet - my income

would drop more than i can handle. an mri they did on

me showed inflammation of the brain and dead tissue.

all this just to say i can feel for you with the

depression - sometimes i want to jump off a cliff!

but it helps me to say to myself over and over that

it's just the lyme - it has no basis in reality - it's

just the disease. this may not help you at all, but

it helps me some.

I took Paxil (20 mg) when I first got sick because I was having some

major depression. Then that seemed to wane and I didn't feel I

really needed it, but continued a very low dose (10 mg). For

whatever reason, this Rocephin is hitting me hard on the mental

side. Wake up and can't go back to sleep either.

I take 40mg of paxil a day and it works great maybe you should try it again. It

also helps with the anxiety about the illness and life in general. Just a

thought.

Let me know how it works out
