Sorry this answer is a bit late ... but headache is not generally a side effect of doxycycline. It is more a symptom of Lyme Disease. I hope the headache episodes have resolved ... otherwise please see your doctor.

Sounds as if you're experiencing a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction from the doxy and the bacteria 'battle.' Google this reaction for more info.
