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!!! 🤦🏻♂️😐🤦🏻♂️😲😵😵🥺🥺😩😩🤔🤓😨🥴

IVM acts as a bomb in your digestive tract. It kills parasites. Is your cold/flu symptoms due to parasites? Or is it something else? Like a fungus/mold issue.
I would never take IVM as a preventive medicine, period. I've used it before, but guardedly. To me, it is more of a nuclear bomb used only when absolutely necessary. Sometimes its better to let your own body rid itself of whatever toxin is producing those symptoms. Aerobic exercise and sweating are good for expelling toxins. Try using a sauna a few times to see if that makes you feel better. For now, you should lay off the IVM. You might want to use a brine solution or other to flush your sinuses. There are different types of sinus flush/pump devices that are effective in mitigating and ending those symptoms.
