As long as you had a one time dose of 250 mg of levaquin, that would work for gonorrhea.  For chlamydia, you would need 500 mg orally once daily for 7 days.

The dose for doxy would be 100 mg twice a day for 7 days for chlamydia.

doc gave me 3 single/daily doses of levaquin and 10 day/2x of doxy...does doubling up speed up treatment at all??
thanks AJ

Nope, sorry.  :(  It can also cause problems to take too much at once.

AJ...will you get a false negative test majority of the time if you're on antibiotics? deoxy...?

I don't know statistics on this, but I wouldn't trust a result if I had it done while I was on antibiotics.
