This treatment plan was one of my most difficult!
My Lyme ND decided to switch me to anti-parasitic type antibiotics hoping to permanently eradicate my Babesia. He said Clindamycin might cause some brain “side effects” so he had me take N-Acetyl Cysteine to help offset them. I only lasted on this plan for about 3 1/2 weeks because I felt like I was taking “crazy pills” and had difficulty sleeping.
Once I told my doctor about these issues, he reduced the dose of Clindamycin and increased the dose of Malaron. He also gave me some herbals to help with nerve support and the sleep issues, which was greatly appreciated!
