How quickly do you feel your meds kicking in?

Curious from the time you take something (either abx or herbs) how quickly do you feel it having an impact?

Are you talking about a herx or improvement or something else?

When you feel anything at all that you can definitely tie to whatever you took.

Again, I'm so sorry that you have migraines with each change, ChickNorris!!!!

For me, it all depends on what I'm taking. With something like JK, I herxed within 2 hours, with some supplements (ALA, Turmeric) and tinctures (dandelion root, Lion's mane) I can't really feel much until I've been on them for several weeks, then stop them - and that's when I can feel how they were helping.

Sida acuta takes several hours - like around 6 for me to 'feel' when I started it.

It seems that it's dependent on what it does for the body, as well as what the body is in need of at that time.

At first the JK actually increased my inflammation, but with a couple of weeks of continued use - and building up of the dose - I got past that and now it's helping to reduce the inflammation now.

DS usually herxes badly on Tuesdays after a Monday start up of abx. He pulses MWF, and Th, F for 1 week then MWF for 1-2 weeks and then a break. Sometimes after 1 week off, he'll start feeling sick 4 hours after his Mon abx re-start. So it varies.
