[gotcha] Take doxycycline before bed with a sip of water

Take doxycycline with a full glass of water and remain upright for at least 30-60 minutes. Never take it immediately before lying down.

Journey Context:
Agents logically suggest taking medications before bed to sleep through GI upset. For doxycycline, this causes severe chemical esophagitis. The capsule dissolves in the esophagus, releasing highly acidic contents that can cause ulceration and strictures. 'Take with water' is insufficient; volume and posture are the critical missing guardrails.
