Yesterday I got a Myers cocktail; I felt energized and my pain level went way down. Today I'm exhausted, I'm super anxious, my ears are ringing, I'm dizzy, my head is full of pressure, and I'm swollen all over. Slept over ten hours last night. Right now I feel out of it and can barely move. Could this be a herx?! Does anyone else get Myers cocktails (or something similar) and if so, how do you feel afterwards?

I know that over the years, we have had many members use/try Myer's cocktail. It's usually part herxing the second day and part of the "let down" -the ingredients of a Myer's cocktail are usually vitamin C, magnesium, minerals and B vitamins, but some practitioners also use glutathione or other things. Do you know if your practitioner used anything extra in it?

The let down comes because we 'plunge' back into symptoms. When do you expect your next one to take place?

This was my second ever cocktail, but no glutathione was added. I did have glutathione in the cocktail I got last week. Maybe the glutathione made the difference? Last week after I got the cocktail I was sore all over and had one night of poor sleep, but after that I had energy and reduced pain for days. Maybe I will add the glutathione back in next time [am supposed to get one cocktail per week] and see what happens.

The glutathione will help detox your liver, so I would encourage you to ask for it again next time.

Best of luck with the next infusion!!!

Add gluthatione, it helps with the herxes.

my first high dose vitamin C pushes gave me headaches and not feeling well the next day. after a few, now I feel great!

In a pinch, if you don't have access to Gluthatione, take NAC and Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). they help recycle the Gluthatione you have.

I've done a bunch of Myers Cocktails, and would do them all the time if I could afford it. I have found that they really, really help with bad a bad Herx or flair. My doc always adds a glutathione push.

I've never experienced them making me feel worse, but I think Vit C in large doses can cause die-off, so it's possible. The glutathione will help detox some of that.

I have heard of people being tired afterwards or the next day, but it usually doesn't help much.

Thanks everyone! I will ask for glutathione in my next cocktail. I think Myers is my favorite kind of cocktail ;) I would have one every day if I could.
