I never really ask for advice on here, but I am absolutely lost at the moment.
As a bit of a back story -- I was on Doxycycline for a few months at 200mg a day and when I went up to 400mg I got really sick. I was always nausous and vomited from it a few times.
I went back to my doctor and I was put on Amoxy at 1000mg a day. (for now)
I took my first dose of Amoxy at around 7:00pm (after dinner) and right after I started having headaches. They seemed to go away and then I ate a little more.
Now it is 4:00am and I just vomited and I have major chills and was in the bathroom from around 1:00am-2:00am on and off with bowel movements. I have no fever, but my entire body is aching and I have major chills -- I am freezing!
I don't know if I am sick, this is a herx, or a reaction to the medication once again. Also -- maybe it is too soon to be taking any meds. I am really not sure.
I am so lost and don't know what to do.
Any advice or ideas that do not include the ER would be very helpful -- unless you think this is am emergency.

The pain has now spread to my back and legs and middle of the shoulder blades. I have unconrollable shivering but no fever. I wonder if i should go to the ER.

Please back off your meds until you speak to your LLMD.
I would call today.
Sounds like a herx although the night in the bathroom can be antibiotics.
However, my LLMD does not advocate pushing through a herx.
