Anti-biotics

Well, I have been on anti-biotics (zithromax) since May 16, 2013.  I know it's only been 2.5 weeks but I do notice changes already.  The first week I went through a herx reaction, ( click on link below to read more about these reactions) so I felt really drained and almost felt like I had the flu for several days.  When it went away I started to feel less fatigued, I was actually energetic and outside planting flowers, cleaning the house etc...
The only downside from the anti-biotics is I can't sleep through the night.  I've always gotten up during the night as my bladder doesn't allow me to sleep through and I drink a lot of water, but since the anti-biotics I actually wake up and cannot fall back asleep for an hour.  It happens at least once a night but usually twice on top of waking to go to the bathroom.  It actually really sucks because I leave the bedroom so I don't wake my husband and watch TV, I hope my body can't develop a habit from this!  I am anticipating this goes away with continued treatment.
I will also start on supplements later this week to help with assisting my body in detoxing. 
These bugs are going to continue to die and I need to be patient, its just gross to think of this ugly bacteria growing inside me, trying to fight my body.
