TW: vomiting

I’m on my 4th day (out of 7) for doxycycline (followed by moxifloxacin for 7) and I’m suddenly struggling to not vomit after taking it. I also think I’ve been dealing with a cold or flu after being around a sick family member but the symptoms: sore throat, cough, headache, fatigue, nausea also started the day after starting doxycycline. (Didn’t get a chance to ask doc if these could be side effects of the med because they kind of just hung up on me) This morning I had my first dose after chicken noodle soup, vomited horribly 30 minutes after taking it. Because of this I just had white toast for dinner, and later a banana with my second dose. 2 hours later, no nausea, started feeling hungry and confident that I could keep more down but I just decided to lay down for bed. After laying down, again 2 hours later after my dose, it hit me and I threw up my banana! Literally just a banana. I’m so upset because I really just want to finish these antibiotics, hopefully get clear and never have to call back the urgent care place that tested me, they were super dismissive and weren’t very helpful when I asked about things such as vomiting and future testing to make sure I’m clear, they just said it’s “up to me” and like I said hung up before I could ask more questions. (I plan to go to my primary care provider instead for a follow up test)

Urgent care at least said to call them back if I continue vomiting, i’m going to see how tomorrow goes but any chance the vomiting is worth pushing through as long as it‘s delayed after taking my dose like it was tonight? I saw some helpful tips on here but I have a big week of classes ahead of me and not sure if it would be the best idea-as much as I want to. I think my cold/flu might be making the nausea worse but i’m staring to feel better with all that. If I call them back, what’s the treatment/medication that they will likely put me on instead? Will it be as effective as doxy? Thanks for the help :)

TLDR: vomiting on doxy even after eating. what would my doctor give me instead?

(For context I just finished my Doxy7 + Moxi7 yesterday) M; I’ve read differing things on this subreddit about people’s symptoms going away on Doxy or 2 days into Moxi, but that has somewhat been the case for me.

When I wake up I still struggle with dysuria, but I know that many people mention that they’ll still have lingering symptoms even after a negative TOC. It’s really the only symptom I’ve experience and still an and I’m wondering if it could just be the inflammation in my urethera as a result of the infection to begin with but I’m not sure.

I guess what I’m asking is, has anyone else experienced something similar and did your TOC still come back negative 3 weeks or is this kind of a sign my treatment mightve failed…
