I am on both Zith and Ceftin currently. I think its a good combo actually. I always start one drug at a time if I am not familiar so I can recognize certain reactions. I will say I notice I herx approx the day after taking Zith(I have been on Zith previously so I know the drug pretty well) and then continue to herx like every 7 days or so on Zith.
I just started Ceftin for the first time and did not notice much herxing until exactly one month after starting(around my menstrual cycle). Go figure, it makes sense because the Zith will hit bart/babs which cycles like every 5-7 days and Ceftin is primarily for lyme and mighty funny that hit me exactly a month later(lyme's growth cycle is approx 30 days give or take and thats the time when its susceptible for killing).
We all have a different soup of infections though so what works for one may not work for another but all in all I think its a good combo. I will be adding in Mepron very soon as Im starting to get leveled out on these meds and I will also add a pulsed regiman of Flagyl.
Which infections did your wife get diagnosed with? What are the dosages of the Zith and Ceft?
Low and slow is best at first of course IMO :)
