Hi Guys.

I'm taking Minocycline for Lyme. This is the first time I'm taking it and it's making me dizzy.

I found on older posts that it's recommended to increase the dose by 50mg every 7 days so I'm doing that and it's been ok.

But, it says to take it on empty stomack, I'm taking it with food. Is that ok??

Thanks

For me personally, I take ALL abx with food. I don't care what the info pack says. I value my stomach.

Mino is known for causing dizziness.

I take all my meds with food too.

Thanks guys!

I tried taking it with empty stomack but got massive dizzys and heart palps.

So I'm ignoring the label and taking it with food. Hope it still works!
