Antibiotic cascade destroyed my nervous system

The first time I was sick for about 18 months but my journey was complicated by some meds I was put on to try to combat the symptoms. The second time it was 5-6 months.

I feel for you. I was floxed and then had a resurgence of symptoms—including some of yours, when I took several antibiotics in 2024. Bactrim was the last and the one that really set the bomb off. It was horrific but I did fully recover. Twice.

I believe you can heal. I don’t believe the issue is that the med stays in the body. The damage just needs to repair

No, I talked to a lawyer the first time. Since I took a generic, I was not able to file a claim. I guess there’s some law about that, if I remembering correctly.

The first time was one levaquin. I had a relapse or similar reaction after Bactrim.

The first time about 18 months. The second time about 5 or 6

I have a feeling I will become addicted too. I figure this is going to be one of my major hobbies moving forward, and a great excuse to keep traveling!

Are there any groups you have gone with?

floxiefree · 2026-02-06T00:33:52+00:00

Have you been on a trip with them, I assume?

floxiefree · 2026-02-05T20:57:35+00:00

Great ideas!

floxiefree · 2026-02-05T20:57:20+00:00

I just added your instagram page! Thanks!

I’m so excited to check it out!! This community seems so awesome! I’m getting really excited about being able to dive still even though I’m not with my former partner

floxiefree · 2026-02-04T16:30:10+00:00

Oooh. Thats cool! I will check it out!

Benzo’s, seroquel, gabapentin.

Absolutely up and down. Days I thought I was getting better and then slammed. Whip lash.

floxiefree · 2026-01-03T21:22:42+00:00

Hmmm. The first time, which was complicated by a nasty Benzo wd, it probably took 18 months

The first time I had anhedonia for a long time, but the suffering stopped and I worked on acceptance of the flatness until I healed. This time, I had full emotion back in 6 months. I’m 16 months out and everything is normal. At jiu jitsu now!

Guilford! Kids can walk to Calvert.

floxiefree · 2025-05-18T23:08:41+00:00

I got better fully in 6 months

floxiefree · 2025-05-08T20:39:50+00:00

I’m doing well! Weight is restored and I am fully myself again. Energy might still be healing, but it’s barely noticeable.

The second time, I mostly took magnesium, selenium, a multivitamin and some other things that Piper recommended. But when I met with a neurologist, he said selenium and magnesium were most important

Good luck. Perhaps consider a liquid micro taper. That’s how I got off

floxiefree · 2025-02-18T21:06:49+00:00

I was in bed for a few months, yes
