DH has a lot of his geriatric patients take it. I also have some HMF powder (refridgerated) from my naturopath that you mix into any drink. It doesn't have a taste at all. <br /><br />The first time I ever took biaxin (it was also with macrobid) was the day after we finished the Clindamyacin in NYC and we were headed home. It totally knocked me on my butt. I was so woozy and had to get on the train to come home! It was awful. As the days went on, it got easier. <br /><br />If you are taking the extended release then I would take it right before going to bed. <br /><br />Prayers this is the only cycle you have to do this!Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09136169986057927090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504195045693659634.post-58359930443520678622009-12-30T11:14:57.214-06:002009-12-30T11:14:57.214-06:00Way over my head!

Guess I should go outside my comfort zone (Target-lol). We both took the abx with food. Started biaxin, both of us, yesterday. No nasty taste for me, but I got it last time I was on it. Dh was spared and had no side effects last time. This time we aren't on it as much/as long just cyclically. We took it at night, but tonight will try at bedtime.WheelbarrowRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09786312554610653043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504195045693659634.post-64131855316900430792009-12-30T08:14:22.795-06:002009-12-30T08:14:22.795-06:00We would take a florastor at night and in the morn...We would take a florastor at night and in the morning. It helps with not getting C.Diff. I always felt better when taking ABX with food. Are you both on Biaxin? It does leave a nasty taste, we took that one for 60 days.

The antibiotic specifically targeted the bowel and nothing else. Even my amox I take 4x's a day didn't take care of my IBS infection I had.<br /><br />So I would take the antibiotic and probiotic together. The probiotic, as bad as I NEED them give me cramping. :(Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963399196987365207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504195045693659634.post-83894914944879142142009-12-29T21:56:04.643-06:002009-12-29T21:56:04.643-06:00I never thought it mattered when you take the prob...I never thought it mattered when you take the probiotic. <br />I actually just started taking my Zithromax again this cycle. I'm pulling out all the stops, and haven't taken it in a WHILE, so I figured I may actually have a good response to it again since my body has calmed down a bit since then. No stomach issues thus far... sorry I don't have any advice!Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.com
