hi, i have been on 100 mgs twice daily for bulls eye rash. i am ...

Hi, I'm not sure why everyone on here is told to take this antibiotic without food in their stomach. I was on Doxycycline several years ago and am on it now again and I feel bad for you! Last time I was on it, I took it on an empty stomach with some water and was throwing up/dry heaving for like half an hour. It was terrible. Now I take it with some food and a large glass of water and haven't had a problem yet.

You should see if you can take it with food. My doctor said to eat, wait about ten to fifteen minutes, then take the pill with a lot of water. It should make it easier for you!

Good luck!

If you think the bulls-eye rash if possibly from a lyme-infected tick... I suggest you take the antibiotic/get back on it. Believe me... I am on doxy right now from an bite from an infected deer tick. I know ppl with advanced Lyme disease (imagine 1/2 of your face paralyzed.. permanently). temporary heartburn is nothing compared to this debilitating disease.
