My gut cannot handle it, I have nausea and stomach pain. I can take it for a few days and than I have to stop it. I take doxy with Rifampin and Azithro.

I don't think Doxy would be a good candidate for pulsing, but then what do I know. I do know that it does not stay in the body nearly as long as say Zith. I think the half life of Doxy is somewhere between 12 and 24 hours. So you would need to take it at least once a day.
Are you taking it with plenty of food? I take it in the middle of a big meal; but not with diary.

my daughter cannot tolerate doxy so her LLMD switched her to minocycline. Maybe suggest that to your LLMD.
