I have never been able to take orals due to many stomach and GI issues. Also, I seem to have unbearable side effects that render me unable to function normally.
They are def. side effects and not herxes.
I have been on and off iv abx for the past ten years. Now insurance co. will NOT authorize anymore treatment.
So I started oral Doryx the other day, immediately threw up, the dizziness was so bad that I was crawling around.
My husband is waiting for a part of a big settlement and we should be getting the first check sometime early fall. I am praying that it comes.
I will have to use it for iv drugs!!!
I just feel hopeless sometimes being that orals are not an option for me.
Sorry for the whining. I'll pass around some cheese with it. Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
Did you take it with a meal? Not a snack, but a meal?
It helps me to take something like Prilosec or Prevacid, too.
What about IM Bicillin?

I took it with a full meal and even took Aciphex (PPI) three hours before. I did everything. I just could not stomach it....like so many other oral abx's.
I am allergic to Rocephin and Pen so the shots are out for me.
