I'm looking for experiences of those who quit abx and had an increase in symptoms afterwards but did not go back to abx.

I've been off the antibiotics for 2 months, and am starting up the Buhner protocol. They had just bothered my stomach too much to keep taking them. I may go back on them if the herbs don't work, but if they do I won't. Antibiotics helped me a lot, and I'm hoping the herbs will get me the rest of the way. Haven't been feeling well the past few days, though. I ramped up on Andrographis way too fast and I think I'm herxing. Wish I had more to share but I just started this.

I quit for a similar reason to Noah, my stomach and then also candida issues. I had recovered a lot when I went off them after 6 weeks and switched to herbs. I did feel worse for a short time afterward, but I'd also just got off flagyl, which kicked my butt, so it was hard to tell if it was the lyme or effects of flagyl. Eventually, I made really good progress with herbs. Never went back to abx.

Yupp, I have some fungal issues as well. Nystatin keeps the thrush away, and Fluconazole made my itching scalp stop. Now I just need to find a way to get rid of this rash on my scrotum. Having a follow up with my dermatologist soon. Fluconazole and topical antifungals haven't made any difference after months, and it hasn't changed at all since it showed up either. It only itches a little bit very occasionally. Every doctor I've shown it to say it looks fungal, but I don't know anymore. Maybe I just need to be off the antibiotics for longer.
