I would imagine you can, if the nd approved it, and is allowed to prescribe. Just make sure you do plenty of detoxing, and be prepared for a herxheimer, which means your symptoms will get worse before they get better. You might want to start slowly.

rnbelle I got on doxy right away and I am glad I did because it literally kept me out of a wheelchair. As far as detox get ready to do some major detox for many many months and you will need to detox for the rest of your life to stay healthy. Detox is 80% of your healing so the more you know about detox and the more ways you can do it the faster you will progress. Read the first thread on the forum and see if you can find a colonic therapist in your area. I did not start getting better until I started doing colonics 2x weekly. Green coffee enemas are good too. Good luck and please keep us posted!

lyme babe, did u herx like crazy on doxy? i did find a colonic therapist in my area. she is $65-75 a session! one girl told me she did that she almost felt like she was gonna die after from the pain lol

I felt like I was gonna die the first time too. I barely drove home. Now I can take my dogs to the park for a walk right after. That's how much I have improved since February! My colonic therapist charges me $80 and she just started charging $90 for new clients. She is the only one in my area so she can afford to do that. In a big city prices are this high too. I am over my head in medical debt and I still pay it, that's how beneficial it is for me. Yes, I herxed on doxy. It was terrible. I was barely walking and my knees and hips were literally giving up under me.

Hi rnbelle, it will not rid you of the disease but it should diminish the symptoms. There may be more risk in letting the disease go untreated. You can also take them and see how you react. You might want to start at 100 mg and then go to 200 mg.

I would detox for a few days, and then start the doxy and continue detoxing. There is information on the beginning of this forum (see first thread, which is permanent) about detoxing. You should follow those suggestions, and start immediately.

Then, see how you feel with just one Doxy a day, or one every other day, or even one every third day.

Gradually titrate up on the dose.
