Hi everyone. I found out recently that my lyme disease has returned. I went to a lyme doctor and he gave me doxy and amoxi and told me to take both of them. Well, I did a little research and discovered that these two medicines should not be taken together. I don't know if my lyme doctor realizes this or if he just doesn't think it's a problem to take both together. I don't feel comfortable taking both of them together until I see the doctor at my next appointment and ask him about this. Do any of you take both of these antibiotics together? Suppose I were to start on one of the antibiotics right now, which would you suggest I start on first, doxy or amoxi and why?

I started treatment with these two. I started with doxy, then after a week of that, added the amoxicillin.
I didn't have any problems.

Thanks for your response Chris. How long were you taking them together and how did you respond to the treatment?

I was being experimental and desperate without an LLMD- I took both at the same time, without knowing I shouldn't have until reading up after the fact. It didn't do anything to me.

To the three people who answered my question--thank you.
New question. For those of you who took Amoxi and Doxy together, did you get better from this treatment?
At the time I was being treated for Lyme with doxy over the winter I also got a really wicked head cold...
It just wouldn't budge.... So my doc put me on amox for a short period in time... ..and yes it did help...
