He spent two years in a blur of antipsychotic drugs, mental institutions, jails and suicide attempts. On a hunch, a doctor at a psychiatric hospital in New Jersey had Joe tested for Lyme disease. After an intensive course of antibiotics, Joe's improvement was dramatic and immediate. "I started to have this fog lift," he recalls. Still, he will probably have to be on psychotropic drugs for the rest of his life.That's what happening to me right now, i think.I'm in a course of antibiotics and to my surprise and thanks to Bleauberry that opened my eyes i'm experiencing an brutal Herxheimer reaction.No matter how hard will be, i'm decided to endure.Mild psychosis, bouts of deep depression, panic attacks, rage, fear, anhedonia all symptoms of my strange psychiatric condition labeled as TRD but 100% a lot worse.And i'm under treatment, Anafranil, Lithium, Carbamazepine and Klonopin.It's not some simple intolerance to antibiotics.Not to mention the nausea, i feel like i'm throwing up every second.Besides antibiotics, i'm following an yeast, candida, fungus and others bacteries hollistic tratment, awfull.Benign plants i'd say.For me, powerful reactions.The single positive reaction for now it's the brain fog lifting.Subtle, day by day better.
What's intriguing me and don't understand is if all bacteras and fungus, yeast, etc will be killed eventually for good and my problem resolved from this angle, like Joe's, the guy from the the study and assuming that my condition was caused from fungs, yeasts or Lyme (bitten 3 times 5-6 years ago), will i have to remain on AD's, moodstabilizers and so for the rest of my life?Those little bastards inside my body caused irreversible damages to my brain and neural system?Wondering...
