DOXY

Glad i searched Doxy and found this thread. I am currently taking it...going on 2.5 months of it (100mg/day), and for me, it has done nothing but give me the craps and now, i believe it is giving me a really weird case of heartburn/indigestion.

I talked to Doc, got some Nexium....but i think the problem is within the esophagus because every time i swallow it feels like the food and water gets stuck right at the opening of my stomach where the end/bottom of my esophagus is, then feels like a balloon expanding then subsides until i swallow again. Have had to sleep sitting up, now on a ramp i made out of my bed to alleviate the pain and sleeplessness at night. I can tell it has gotten better with the Nexium because during the day I'm not feeling like I'm bloated or trying burp... but I am off (took myself off) of the Doxy for a few until this gets better because Im afraid the combination of both my counter the other.

Anyone else have a similar issue with Doxy?
