Well, this is what I get for playing doctor. 🤦🏻♂️😐🤦🏻♂️
I started taking 24 mg per day of IVM about a week ago to combat a flare up of whatever this cold bug / flu is that keeps popping up for me about every 3 months. That's a whole other story too....
Well, This time around, I have started having some pretty bad dizzy spells.
Since I learned nothing from my experience so far, I again donned my Doctor's coat and looked up IVM side effects online.
Sure enough, Dizziness / balance problems are a significant potential side effect per this link;
https://www.drugs.com/ivermectin.html
Is there anything at all I can do - other than immediately stop taking any further Ivermectin of course - to counteract the dizziness?
Is there anything I can take to neutralize the IVM in my system?
This morning I took some activated charcoal capsules that are pretty good at soaking up some bad stuff in your system, but I know there's only so much that can do since I've been taking IVM for a week, so it's fully in my system....
Ugh this is awful. 🤦🏻♂️😵😵😩🥺🥺
If anyone has any ideas, please help.
I am also going to go to my doctor - my real doctor - to see if there's anything they can do to help.
How long is IVM's half-life? Hopefully it will dissipate soon...???
Thanks Frens.....
UPDATE / ETA: Called advice nurse; guy I spoke with was polite & pretty thorough. At one point he stated "IVM is usually only used to treat parasites, lice, etc in humans". About 5 min later he said; "yeah and you know, IVM is not authorized / recommended for use in humans."
I said; "wait; I thought you said it was used to treat parasites in humans."
"Oh yes; I take back my statement; yes, IVM is used to treat parasites & lice in humans."
😐😐😐🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ He recommended I go to the ER, but I'm feeling OK: I will see & hang on for a bit. I'm feeling better; if my symptoms at ALL get worse, I'm going to the E.R.....
Thanks for all the help & suggestions, frens. 🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
######## EDIT, UPDATE: 07/29/2022 10:35:54 AM I'm pretty much back at 100%. IVM worked its way out of my system, any & all dizziness / wooziness / lightheaded is GONE, along with any & all traces of whatever's this damn cold / flu bug that keeps attacking me every ~3 months like clockwork since this damn pandemic.... and that is a whole other doctor's visit & thread.....
Thanks everyone for your help & suggestions, and I will certainly be more careful in the future!!! 🤦🏻♂️😐🤦🏻♂️😲😵😵🥺🥺😩😩🤔🤓😨🥴

Unless you weigh 300 pounds, 24 mg/day is way too much.
Use quercetin 500mg instead. Make sure you add the zinc 25 - 50 mg , vit D3 5000iu 125 mg and vit c 1000 mg.. take all daily for preventative. I use it and have not been sick yet, as opposed to everyone around me. I pass it along to them and they get over it quick.
I did learn about Quercitin + zinc thru this scam-demic; I was taking the recommended dosage (2 caps; whatever that is; I'd have to check the bottle) + Vit. C + Vit D + K2 liquid.
Did you still get sick?
It was very mild this time, but yes. When you say you take that stuff “daily for preventative”; you don’t mean literally every single day, right?
Only when you feel something coming on?
According to FLCCC https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/I-CARE-EARLY-TREATMENT-PROTOCOL.pdf, 24 mg is the treatment dose for a 111-130lb person. Prophylactic dose would be half that.
Having said that, I would discontinue anything making me dizzy.
Oh absolutely!
I discovered this about IVM possibly CAUSING the dizziness, about 1.5 hours after I took this mornings' dose.
I contemplated making myself throw up, but the tabs are so small, I figured they're already gone in my system.
Took some activated charcoal, will NOT be taking IVM again for a damn long while.
Bentonite clay also helps.
I keep some around -- the liquid suspension -- and mix it with water.
I have a bad habit of taking vitamins without enough food in my stomach. Makes me a bit queasy at times. Bentonite takes care of that.
Well that's the best fun of all this; I've been unable to find a damn clear, english, plain & simple chart of how fcking much IVM to take. It's all like "0.2 mg per kg" and other gibberish, and I've found charts that contradict the 0.2 mg per kg recommendation which seems the most common.
Based on my shitty math, I'm 185 lbs, which is roughly 84 kg, multiply that by 0.2, gives me 16.6 mg IVM.
So....Yeah I guess I overdid it a bit.....🤦🏻♂️😵😵

Treatment dose for pounds is in table 1, page 3.
Seems right. Drink lots of water.
Also there’s no reason to take it daily unless you’re treating actual symptoms. If you’re taking it as a preventive measure then once a week or even once a month is probably sufficient. As another user said, taking zinc, D, and Quercetin is really the only thing you needs to take daily.
Well damn.....a friend of mine I was talking to said he was taking it daily.... Again; this is what I get for playing Dr....🤦🏻♂️😐🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Yes, maybe you should follow the advice of the doctors who designed the protocol.
Well, you are going to be ok, so, imo, it would be worse these days to follow the advice of doctors who believe in the establishment crap and tow the line. You just need better math skills.🤪😂
Try this. It worked for me. Go to the Icare link and see the chart on page 4 of the graphic. Pretty clear dosages.
