I can't believe I'm reading this! I too, have chronic Lyme's Disease. I have been hospitalized for depressions since it was discovered, this I might add after no pdoc would believe that I thought I still had Lyme's Disease. Guess what? I did! Tried Rocephin IV and was discontinued due to side-effects due to rapid administration of the med. Infection Control doc thought it was from the med. Problem was the psych RN's didn't know how to use an IV pump so they just let it flow in in 5-l0minutes instead of over an hour. Put me on Biaxin by mouth Still came upo positive until last March. They stopped the Biaxin. Just went back to Head of Infection Control because I have experienced so many wierd things since March, like losing my taste, and none of my anti-anxiety meds worked any more and I have become so spacey and agorphobic I can't let my husband out of my sight. Had to switch pdocs because mine gave up practice in area. Only one in area put me on Cymbalta and I became a non-feeling zombie. I am weaning myself off Cymbalta and I can cry for the first time in a year. I am not doing well emotionally and hope the tests IF Control doc ran will yield some answers. He did an MRI of head, sinuses, and pituitary gland, plus Lyme's titer and ANA {elevated at l:640}. I'm going on and on so I'll quit but to add my Paxil quit working when I felt ill with the disease about 7 years ago and it's been downhill ever since. Thanks for listening.
