Hi folks,


I have been doing 2 plus months of Doxy to treat PR . Noticed for the last week that I would get nausea after taking it (once 100 mg in the AM) and my anxiety was getting worse and worse each day. Well today I skipped my doxy and my anxiety level is considerably less. Has anyone experienced this?

Currently I am sticking to a strong probiotic a b c and d vitamins and a clean diet.

I haven’t noticed it with doxy, but Mepron and Babesia herxes usually give me panic and anxiety. I did have a lot of it before though- doxy is new to me, so maybe I got all the depression herxes over with by the time I switched to doxy.

Lyme is a roller coaster of anxiety and depression, and bart and Babs especially cause crying fits and crazy emotions. I’ve posted on other threads what helps me.

I do notice depression when I eat certain things. Maybe there’s a stomach connection. My trigger is peanuts, maybe yours is doxycycline. Doxy definitely messes with my GI tract, but I haven’t noticed it mentally.

Interesting. That's probably the most difficult thing for me is to gauge if I'm "winning" the battle or not.. am I going through a die off herx or are the bugs winning? Very frustrating.. Xanax low dose helped a couple nights, tried Lexapro and what a HUGE mistake that was for me. Cause me to wake up jacked up with energy the point where I had an atrial tachycardia episode. Very scary!!
