Scott,
Yeah, I was thinking 2.5mg every day to start. Or, absurd as it sounds, even 1.25mg every day. Tricky to split those small pills though.
I have to hesitate because my Lyme labs will be reviewed with me this Thursday. Antibiotics look likely at this point. Therefore, I need to be sure that whatever ones I take are compatible with MAOIs.
Lyme patients are extremely sensitive to meds. That is a common hallmark character of the infection. An herb called Samento, a modified version of Cat's Claw, is known to be extremely potent against the Lyme bacteria. Instructions are to take 1 drop 3 times a day and work up to 15 drops 3 times per day, but sensitive individuals may have to start with 1/4 of a drop once a day. I laughed at how ridiculous that sounded, and how puzzling it would be to split a drop into quarters. Anyway, I have tried Samento. One lousy drop sent me into the most viscious die-off effect that was rather scary and took me by surprise. That is how sensitive I am. Or how infected I am. Either way. I am definitely one of those individuals that would have to figure out how to divide a drop into quarters. :-)
Do you know about safety of MAOI and antibiotic combinations? Are any antibiotics off limits with MAOIs? MAOIs are so rare in my neck of the woods I doubt any clinicians will know the answer to that question. As usual, we patients have to become our own best experts.
