heartburn and ear aches

I just recently started doxy with my other antibiotics and I have been experiencing a lot of heartburn and occasional sharp ear aches? Anyone else experience this with antibiotics

The prescription says to take it on an empty stomach. I did that this morning and waited a half hour before having a few slices of cucumber and now I have been vomiting consistently for an hour. I am really not liking the doxy

If you are going to be on any antibiotic long term it will KILL your stomach. I would really suggest taking the doxy with a small amount of food (but not dairy like acheivinggrace said) and talking to your doctor.

You can switch to another med if you consistently have that problem. I don't think minocycline is known to have those side effects and it is in the same drug class.

Hope you feel better! In the meantime I would suggest drinking some aloe juice before meals, it coats and soothes the stomach and also drinking kefir (spaced away from antibiotics) to replace the good bacteria the doxy is killing.
