Question for the people who have taken ciprofloxacin long term: did the thrush ever settle, or is that just the price of admission?

The dose has stayed the same for six weeks and the effect has not, which is the whole puzzle.

My pharmacist was more useful than the appointment, and it was a two minute conversation at the counter.

Finish the course and do not share the leftovers around, and the resistance argument is not theoretical.

Not looking for a protocol, just perspective.

How do you tell the difference between the drug working and just a good week? Same for me with ciprofloxacin, unfortunately.

Same shape here, different drug. The thing that helped was documenting the refusal rather than re-arguing it. They refer rather than write.

Is it normal to feel worse before better? Nobody told me that.

Same here.

Not on ciprofloxacin but the pattern is familiar.

Ten percent cuts, of the current dose not the original. That is the arithmetic that keeps it survivable.

Half of what people describe as tolerance is a change in the underlying condition, and the two need different answers.
