Day 3 on Rifampin plus Doxycyline.
My crying, sobbing, feeling worthless depression is 95% gone.
My Parkinsons tremors are 90% gone.
My anxiety is 90% gone.
I feel pretty good. I feel like I've just been to hell and back. I spent 20 years in that same place when I was on psychiatric meds.
I expect Herxing to start today or tomorrow and based on experience it will probably show up as tiredness and blue mood but not deep depression. That will pass gradually over weeks. And the goal, again, is remission.
When I am good and stable (3 days doesn't qualify for that) I will be adding one psychiatric med to my cocktail. Ritalin.
In my journey, my experience, my study, many books, many blogs, I would suggest that whenever anybody's psychiatric profile includes a significant anxiety component to it, or a schizophrenia-like component, anything "racing", that you HAVE to assume and treat Bartonelliosis for at least 3 months and that your best odds of success (95%) are with the antibiotics Rifampin+Minocycline or Rifampin+Doxycycline.
These are cheap, easy, and relatively safe, so I don't know any good excuses why any psychiatric patient wouldn't at least try. Or at a bare minimum, confirm what I have said with your own study. Try Marty Ross, M.D. Very experienced and plain language easy to understand.
