I just increased my daily dose of doxy from 200mg to 400mg per my llmd request. By the second dose I vomited twice and could not stop dry heaving.

Any suggestion as I had eaten a full meal and drank almost 2 full glasses of water. All I can think is separate the doses further.
When do you take your doxy in am or pm. Do you take 200 mg at once or still 100mg just 4 times a day?


Btw my head has started to clear on just a prolonged low dose. Now I'm excited to get results ive been in bed almost 2 yrs.

Random,
I'm soooo sorry to hear what that second dose of Doxy did to you!!! UGH! I've throw up enough to last me a lifetime already!! And I'm not on abx!!!

Have you tried taking only 1 & 1/2 pills to start? That might be easier for your body to handle right now. If that's too strong though, I would highly suggest that you contact your doctor and let him/her know that you can't keep the abx down. There are other abx that you can take.

I think 5hr between doses is not enough so i'm increasing it to 8hrs. Update to come

If I cant do that i will be on the phone with my doc.
