Hi Blackfeather,
Sorry not up on Doxycycline so won't comment on it.
Blackfeather, maybe you have a bit of depression?
Do you see a movement disorder specialist for management of P.D.?
If not it might be worthwhile.
As far as Drs in general practice go which I think a primary care physician is I'd be more inclined to hear what an MDS who lives and breathes P.D. would come up with plus other medical staff like a speech therapist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist who specialise in P.D.
