lyme disease
"Even though it says it is absorbed better without food, I would Definitely advise taking it WITH food (as my pharmacist suggested to me). I tried to take the first dose without food, big mistake. Within an hour started getting really shaky and nauseous, felt like throwing up big time. I had to hurry up and down some food quickly to stop it. As long as I take it right after a meal, and with plenty of water, I am fine. Occasional headaches with this medicine. You can definitely tell it is a strong medication (for an antibiotic), so be careful. I was prescribed two weeks of Doxycycline to prevent possible Lyme Disease from being bit by a tick a few days ago. As long as you can stick through the side effects, this medicine is effective."
