All Zooi, thanks for the feedback. How did you feel going off the doxy? I guess it is a matter of finding the right herbal that's going to work. Someone recommended that I take L-lenonite (or something like that) from olive leaf extract every 2 hours while awake for three months. Now I am on a Chinese herbal prep and eryrthromycin prescribed by my Japanese Alternative doc who used a bioresonance machine to screen me. Also, taking a product called VesPro (GABA, Grandular, etc.) helps with the mental symptoms. prd
