I began taking Doxy last Sunday after being diagnosed with Lyme. LET Me tell you...I thought, I was having a heart attack. I couldnt breathe, it hurt & I mean HURT to swallow-the indigestion was unbearable-then, I took a pill laying down & a quick drink of water (I had fallen asleep & my husband woke me up to take it). Needless to say, I vomited for the next 4 hours. My fault-Ill never make that mistake again....definitely follow instructions! :} Upon calling my Dr, he switched medications b/c the side effects arent that bad (so he said) They gave me CEFUROXIME 250 Mg 2x a day. The heartburn is gone-and the 24/7 hurting is gone....but I still literally cannot even swallow water without the sensation of a severe heart attack. Doxy was however, MUCH worse....and there doesnt seem to be any other side effects with this meds. It worth trying!
