Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Posted June 8, 2006 Don't really get depressed but definitely have anixiety and panicky symptoms. So far, I've been able to avoid meds but my doc prescribed lazorpham (sp) if I need it. Maybe I'll try the tea thing. I've tested positive for Bartonella so maybe thats where these symptoms come from. Not sure. I'm still feeling pretty bad today during most recent protocol of IV Rochephin and Biaxin with Tinadazole mixed in every other week. I need to stick this out and get better.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 My anxiety and panicky feeling is almost completely gone as a result of treating for Bartonella. On another note, I have had cats all my life and have been scratched many times. My doctor recently went to a conference where it was discussed that Bartonella is easily passed from cat AND dog scratches, and is not always just a Lyme tick transmission.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 Yes My was found in the spinal column some 20-25 years ago by my neurologist. Most likely it is both that is giving you problems that is what I went through even the depression can give you a problem if not treated right there are times that I even to day it cause some problems. My best to you Bud Margherita <mmdh@...> wrote: Has anyone been alternating between depression and anxiety w/ neuro Lyme. I am in the middle of some major neuro Lyme symptoms right now. If so, what treatments have you used? Is it borrelia that accounts for the neuro symptoms, or is it one of the co-infections that is a major culprit? Angel, thanks for the tip about Rooibos tea helping with anxiety. I plan to order from Strand in a few weeks. I had purchased some Alvita Rooibos last month. Just wondering if you have experience w/ that brand, since I usually use Alvita brand for any herbal teas. Everyone take care! Margh Re: [ ] IV treatment question!

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Posted June 9, 2006 I never had any signs of depression or anxiety till the past 5 years. I was diagnosed in Oct 99 and have been treated for LD off and on since. I have been on several different antidepressants but have yet to find one that works. I am currently on Lexapro x 5 weeks and I keep Xanax for bad attacts. I would just like to feel somewhat like my old self. Are you on meds for depression?
