They had me on a 600mg dose to begin with, which I cut way down to 200mg daily.I have high blood pressure and tachycardia and it does lower all that quite well. However, I am scared to go to bed at night, because I wake up shaking like I'm having seizures, I feel like my whole body is twitchy. Leg cramps, ringing in my ears, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, hot sweats, cold sweats, dark spots on the wall, (my blood pressure was normal), thirst, panic and anxiety, not caring about life or the house or bills, and horrible dreams, no appetite, then increased appetite, insomnia,and this all started about 3 days into the meds. Let your body adjust to it, yeah, it's getting worse so we'll see.

The biggest problem isn't the medicine, it is that you haven't been diagnosed properly. Check out the full panel of Lyme Disease testing and ask your doctor to put in writing that you don't have it. They will run the tests. You can get rid of the panic fatigue, etc. with antibiotic treatment for the appropriate length of time. Contact the MLDA Michigan Lyme Disease Association and they may be able to help you find a doctor or organization in your state. It is second only to AIDS in numbers. But many physicians are reluctant to treat because of pressure from Insurance companies because of cost of long term antibiotics and you do need long term. DON"T just go to any doctor it may mean life or death, and it has for many. They are diagnosed with chronic fatigue, heart disease, epstein barre, alzheimers and the list goes on and on. I was even diagnosed with caffeinism prior to being treated and almost didn't make it.
