Two questions about taking doxycycline orally in amounts adequate to cross the BBB and treat neurological symptoms:

1. Is 500 mg adequate for a 200 lb person?

2. How is 500 mg best taken? 200 mg at breakfast, 100 mg at lunch, 200 mg at dinner is what I am doing. This allows me to take probiotics and vitamins before bedtime.

Thank you for any thoughts.

Will
