Is 200 milligrams 2 times daily of mino too high? From what i read most people do 200 daily. 400 seems soo high for mino.

Yup it is high... But docs will prescribe it if you can tolerate that dose. I did 200 mg, 100 mg twice a day. But there was one day I did 400 mg. I had eye pain from it, or maybe it was a herx.

Are you able to tolerate that dose? Higher doses of mino can be harder on the thyroid, esspecially if taken for long periods of time. That is the only risk I am aware of. It will also stain your teeth but that can be resolved with a teeth cleaning when you are done treatment.

LP, definitely something to be said about that, as it is our health/lives. Kinda like stock piling .223 and .40 ammunition ;)

I kept the stuff I was allergic to even. I figure if I have lyme the dogs might too and that doxy was expensive! When they get tested in the spring I am sure at least one will turn up positive so I will not have to but the meds.
