Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hello, my son (12) was on it for a while and I don't really remember any reactions to it (maybe some dark circles under his eyes) other than it brought out a secondary bullseye rash on his thigh. I took photos, mailed it to my dr and that is what he said. Since my son has never had a positive Western Blot, this was reassurance for us that we are doing the right thing.

She is sensitive to meds, so we only started 125mg once a day for two days. She took the Tindamax on Sunday and Monday. I was just wondering how other children have reacted? I know this can be a tough med. Wednesday and today, she is feeling a bit lightheaded, and nauseous. Just looking for some input from other parents of Children on how they reacted when starting the Tindamax. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 good input. We'll keep that in mind too. Cyst busters are great but of course the herx reactions and other fallout have to be taken into account... ________________________________ From: Kim <kimperrymsw@...> Sent: Fri, July 9, 2010 9:00:31 AM Subject: Re: [ ] Tindamax Hello, Sorry if I'm sounding repetitive with this since I've posted on this topic before, but I feel this is important. My son (age 7) took Tindamax for two days per week and weeks later had a tremendous setback with neuropsych symptoms. Evidently the med was hightly effective in breaking the cysts but was not well tolerated at all. Adults that I know that have taken it have also reported a significant resurfacing of symptoms after feeling the best ever since contracting Lyme, though well after beginning the med. My point is to continue assessing for possible med reactions even if intially, your child seems fine.

It's always been part of a larger cocktail of drugs when they've taken it.
