I had this experience on Doxy (starting at the initial dose of 100 mg 2X/day and even after 2 weeks at the recommended dose of 200 mg 2X/day). It happens within 2 hours of taking the dose and lasts for a couple of hours. I feel sort of out of it and actually much calmer than I felt with all the Lyme anxiety. This has abated slightly over the past couple of weeks -- I can think through the phase now, but it has not gone away. I think this may be due to the anti-inflammatory properties of the Doxy in addition to the antibacterial properties, but really not sure.

Does doxy cause anxiety? My anxiety is horrible and I was to start doxy today, well I did but opened the capsule and only took a small amount .. Been about 2 hrs ago.. I am to take 200 mg a day.. Then more when and if I can. Its a shame the medicine to help causes you to feel so bad.
Will keep you posted..

I am exhausted after a month and symptoms have increased I have worked up to 300-400 mg a day (Depending how I am feeling that day). I was on this before and I felt like death for first 3 months but after that I began feeling really good. Like so many say on hear it is a slow go to win this battle. Stick with it!

Does Doxy help with Neurolyme? Is that why the anxiety etc.

make sure you take it with food. Without food it threw me for a loop for about 4-5 hours.

Sounds like you may have bart to me. The abx kick in fast with bart. Doxy had me like a maniac. Mino is much easier on the brain in my experience.
