Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 The standard (i.e. conventional) dose for lyme disease is 100 mg twice a day, but LLMD's often prescribe a higher dose, totaling 300 to 400 mg per day. Doctors vary in the way they prescribe it -- you should check with your doctor. Greg [ ] doxy Can anyone tell me what the dosages are normally for doxy?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 You know i was noticing the capsules tend to want to float around in my mouth. I was thinking that can't be good for the stomach. Did anyone see that show the other day talking about why you should not drink liquids when you eat. I had always believed this. More from the fact that you stretch out your stomach and it will hold more food. This Doctor was saying the water or lizuid will dilute your natural digestive juices and make it harder to digest the food. Millie periwinkles <periwinkles@...> wrote: ohhhh! So that explains it.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 What's the full name for Doxy? Can you really pick it up at Walmart? [ ] doxy , I was told by my herbalist that doxy stimulates the endocrine system (I think I'm remembering this right). So once you go off it or switch drugs, the body can go into a slump.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Carole, I'm sorry but I don't remember why you take cellept? Googling CPK I learned you should not do any strenuous exercise on the day the blood is taken (I would not do any the day before either)..so if you are feeling better maybe you are doing more?? You have only been on doxy 4 months..this is not a drug that will decrease tests that fast. I have been on minocin since 1997! I did 3 years of clindy IV's from 1998 then started again in August...so yes you can stay on doxy all you life but probably at a reduced dosage when your tests go down to normal. cooky Subject: rheumatic Doxy The question is; Can I take 100mg a day forever? My CPK and Aldolase have slowly been going up since May.That is not good. Yet since I started taking Doxy the end of July, I feel much better - I am still on cellcept, though have taken it down a notch - I don't know what is going to happen when I see my Rheumie in Cleveland next month. I am now taking 5000mg of Carlson's fish oil daily, B100, 100,000 Vit D3 per week - Armour Thyroid - I have to be getting better I figured out that my back was a problem before I got sick - now it is worse because the muscles went. The same with my shoulders. Thanx for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Cellcept is one of the immune suppressants - Well I will just keep on going Carole On 10/26/10 4:25 PM, Cooky Stonkey wrote: > > Carole, > > I'm sorry but I don't remember why you take cellept? > > Googling CPK I learned you should not do any strenuous exercise on the day > the blood is taken (I would not do any the day before either)..so if > you are > feeling better maybe you are doing more?? > > You have only been on doxy 4 months..this is not a drug that will decrease > tests that fast. > > I have been on minocin since 1997!

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 For those who take doxy is it important to take the brand name vs the generic? My pharmacist says they can only get 100 mg caps in brand. The 50 mg ones only come in generic and I wanted to start at 50 mg MWF. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi ; I hardly ever turn on my computer when I am busy and often go weeks without looking at it.Caught your post just in time.It is usually cheaper to get 100 mg capsules.Just carefully open it up ,make sure you have equal amounts in each and make a little plug with a bit of bread.Woks just fine.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 It is my understanding that 80% of minocin is absorbed when taken with food. I suspect that if you take just a little food, then the effect is even smaller. rheumatic Re: doxy Hi Lynne Thanks for the info. Good to hear from you. So you think brand is important to get? Unfortunately I can't eat bread so maybe I can put it in some coconut yogurt? So doxy does not need to be taken on am empty stomach like mino?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi McRae, I don't know. I believe that a fungal or bacteria infection can be so bad that the sores, yes, must be effected but that it may also be sending a smell from our pores. If that is true, then the bath could help stop that. I believe that most of us had or are harboring a bacteria and/or fungus that lives on surfaces as well, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to include the olive leaf bathes at least for a while. If you still have mites/bugs, it may be worth your effort to include both internal and external treatments until you feel safe. That's just my guess. Love and Light, From: A McRae <shopsur2@...>Subject: Doxybird mites Date: Friday, January 21, 2011, 2:25 AM Thanks Hugh, just ordered the doxy. Thanks for info for steam press also. Thank you all for sharing. I have been taking the olive leaf complex which runs the mites out of the scalp but they go into the environment hoping the doxy will kill them from the inside. I dont have sores or lesions concerning olive leaf baths? Do you think it would be helpful even so? The fliers are very recent to me. Hopefully the doxy will slow things down before I move into new place. I am praying for everyone so please pray for me. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
