OK to take doxycycline 4x a day (50mg), instead of 2?

I'm taking doxycycline for chlamydia, but my stomach doesn't agree with it, and I'm no nauseus, struggling to keep it down.

Rather than 100mg twice a day, can I take 50mg 4x a day?

Any help appreciated.

you might be better off doing the one time dose of azithromycin instead.  leave a message and let them know the side effects you've been experiencing.

I should do, but he's away, and any emergencies are being referred to another clinic. As a result, I can't get access to that Dr for answers! :(
