I just got switched to Omnicef, taking 300 mg 2x/day, this is day 5 and I feel awful.

I am dry brushing, taking supplements, drinking ACV and detox tea, using essential oils. Any other tips and thoughts on how long herxing usually lasts. Will it get better soon?

Thanks in advance!

Try a binder if you aren't already.

Pinella and Burbur or Jernigan's Neuro Antitox - CNS/PNS

Take a day or two off and let your body catch up.

I don't know that drug but it sounds like a strong dose. I would take a couple of days off, as Girlie said, and then go to 1x a day for a few days and then try 2x a day again.

Try:
Charcoal two hours away from food and supps.
Lemon water
Alka-Seltzer Gold
Turmeric
Green juice
Make sure you're drinking lots of water.

It's funny, but you may think you're detoxing enough, but you may need more than you think. It was my case. I've managed to reduce herxing with the above methods. My doc has me on charcoal every night before bed.

If all else fails, you may be constipated - which doesn't necessarily mean you can't go. You can still be constipated and have movement. Intestines are long! I was having a bad herx and took 1 tsp epsom salts (food grade!!!!) in water with an effervescent vitamin C tab for taste. And sure enough, it helped.

Good luck!
