Who is prescribing the 3rd round of antibiotics for you, and how long are you on each 'round'?

a neurologist has prescribed this 3rd round (400mg/day doxycycline for 4 weeks). the first round was in june(regular dr.)(amoxicillin500mg 3xday/2 weeks). the second round was in sept.(doxycycline 200mg/day 3weeks)also prescribed by a regular dr. i asked the neurologist why he didn't prescribe the rocephin iv, and he thought this amount of doxycycline would be just as effective and less of a pain.
