While I was going through my trial of doxycycline, I continued with my other drug trials. Since an adequate trial of doxycycline can be as long as a few months, I thought this combination strategy made sense. I made no changes for the first few weeks, though, just to see what my acute reaction to doxycycline was.
Since it is known that some people get more depressed early in treatment with doxycycline who later respond to it, it is a gamble as to whether to continue with the doxycycine if one should feel worse. However, this worsening should only last a couple of weeks at most. Beyond this, if I were to feel worse, I would have discontinued it.
