Appetitie change

I have been on doxy about 2 1/2 weeks now and feel so hungry most of the time. If I don't satisfy my hunger, I get sick to my stomach. Two days ago I had to make myself a hamburger with all the fixings...I couldn't finish the big huge thing I made, but every bite was so delicious until I was full.

So I wonder when I have these types of cravings, is it the meds, the bugs, or just me?

hey there....I too experienced this

keep eating, hopefully as healthy as you can====protein a big thing to restore your muscle and energy.

After 5 months in treatment I still have hunger but it did level off.

LD messes with your insulin and adrenals --- so try to replenish when you can try to stay away from carbs (this is difficult for me)

If you know of any good protein recipes please share...getting tired of nuts and nut butters all the time.

i need to put on more weight

It's probably related more to the infection fighting to survive than a side effect of the medication. I get the same thing too - I usually take it as a sign that I'm fighting these bugs hard! - it's like out of nowhere I feel like I haven't eaten in days and I could eat a cow! Just be careful not to turn to sugar when you're feeling that way (not that I haven't given into temptation once or twice).

Fighting these bugs is a big job, and you need plenty of energy (food) to get it done!
