I have always known that if I take doxy without food it is a sure ticket to barfville.So I always wait until later in the day so i already have a few meals in my belly.

Lately even on a full stomach it has been making me barf and I am not even sure if I am getting any of the meds.

Have I become sensitive to doxy? Has it hurt my stomach?

I also posted recently about sore spots in my stomach, ranging from right under the bottom of my sternum to around the belly button and beneath it. I wonder if it is related, has doxy tore up my belly?

Yes. Please discuss this with your prescriber. Sounds like it is time to take a break and give your stomach a rest, IMHO.

I couldn't take doxy with food. I took the pill and ate, vomiting within 20 minutes.

Try taking it in the middle of your meal. Do not lie down for an hour.
