I'm ready to start my Eleuthro and bought the Herb Pharm 2:1 concentration. On Buhner's website it says to take 1 tsp 3x day for 30-60 days and off for 2 weeks. I'm not taking it for fatigue, but for Immune support, however, in classic Lyme fashion, insomnia has decided to pay me another visit.

Should I start the Eleuthro now, or wait until I get were I'm sleeping better, and if I do take it, how low a dose should I start at? So far, I've tolerated all the herbs and are at full dose on most of them.

I would say to still start off very low, with only 1 drop, and take it in the morning so that you will have less of a chance for it to encourage any insomnia. That way, if it does interfere with your sleep, there won't be much in your system so it won't take as long to settle down any issues that may crop up.

Thanks Traveler. You think it would be ok to move up one drop a day?

No, not at first. Hold at one drop for a few days (3 or 4?) so that you can get a feel for if it's affecting your sleep. Then, if you feel that it's not affecting your sleep (or anything else) raise it up one or two drops, and hold that dose for a few days to see if it's affecting anything.

Keep holding at the dose for a few days each time to be sure that it's not causing any herxing or affecting your sleep, and be sure to only raise the dose a drop or two each time. As I said, this will prevent you from getting to a high dose quickly, then realizing that you can't tolerate it.
