normal to feel bad when starting Malarone?

[Guest guest]

I was having problems with Mepron after 4 months of it (burping and bloating

after taking it), so my LLMD had me try stopping it for 3 weeks (I started

relapsing) and then switched me to Malarone.

It's been 2 days on Malarone. My brain and emotions feel 99% better, but I am

feeling pretty sickly, and some symptoms seem slightly worse now than when I was

not on any Babesia prescriptions: Insomnia (I am writing this at 2:28am),

fatigue, trouble standing up for very long, muscle pains, and my heart feeling

tired or weird.

I don't remember herxing when I started Mepron. Instead, Mepron just made my

Babesia symptoms stop quickly. I was expecting that to happen when I started on

Malarone but instead, only my mental symptoms were helped and I'm still having

many physical symptoms.

Could any of this be a reaction to the Malarone drugs (atovaquone and

proguanil)? Or have any of you herxed when getting on Babesia meds?
