 4  multiple abscess’ Heightened Anxiety, odd dreams, racing heartbeat I am allergic to penicillin and I’m usually prescribed this drug for any infections I might- gives me the exact same response every time(three different occasions), however it has cleared up any infections I might have. So I take it when it is prescribed to me. Doxycycline also gives me the same symptoms as Clindamycin. F 23 7 days

 1  Dental abscess No appetite, insomnia, severe depression, severe anxiety, heart feels like it's going to beat right out of my chest, bad taste in mouth, diarrhea, cold/hot flashes, and a dissociative state. I would never recommend this antibiotic because at this point I with the abscess had spread further from my jaw and sinuses straight to my blood. I am usually a very happy chill person but now everything scares the hell out of me. I've never thought of suicide before until now because I've been on 3 different antibiotics for 30 days and the mental symptoms haven't gone away. I thought it was just the infection but I had the teeth pulled and abscess drained. Stopped the antibiotics today because I should be seeing improvements since my jaw doesn't hurt anymore but the mental effects are all still there. Hoping tomorrow they are out of my system and I bounce back to the old me before I got a severe dental abscess. F 33 7 days

 1  Bacteria sinus infection My doctor prescribed me this drug because I have an allergic reaction to doxycycline AND because my sinus infection has also turned into a fungal infection. Day I, I was Ok. A bit strong of an antibiotic but still manageable. Here I am day 4 and I want to Kill myself. My thoughts are not my thoughts anymore. Im forgetting basic words mid sentence. I find myself sitting in parking lots for long periods of time doing nothing. My chest HURTS and burns severely. Constant back, shoulder and neck pain. Throbbing headache. Severe diarrhea. And the anxiety is out of this world. I feel like Im on constant edge. Its so bad Ive resorted to my room and kept away from my family b/c I do not want them to see me like this. The only reason why Im going to continue is because my doctor said if it does not work, they are going to prescribe something much stronger. So glad I found this page b/c I thought I was going insane. Praying this is the 1st and last time I will ever have to take this medication. M 31 10 days

 3  Tooth extraction Initially, I noticed I had tightness in my throat and the sensation of having something stuck in my throat. On the second day, I experienced the same thing but also tightness in my chest and a feeling of anxiety. I also experienced waking up from vivid nightmares and normally, I don't recall my dreams or have nightmares really. On the third day, I still had the same issue of feeling like something was stuck in my throat, sometimes it felt like I had trouble swallowing so I took allergy pills thinking it might be something I ate. This was accompanied by anxiety as well. Today, the fourth day, has been especially bad as far as feeling like something is stuck in my throat and having that tightness there. The anxiety was there and I used a salbutamol inhaler to help open up my airways. I have been waking up anxious, restless, and somewhat panicky so I've been feeling fairly tired all day. I am going to contact my dentist and ask for a suitable alternative tomorrow. I also have a history of high blood pressure and asthma. My bp has been elevated despite my regularly taking my maintenance medication -- this might be because of the side effects I'm experiencing. F 36 4 days

 1  precautionary post root canal fail. my new first place horrific-panic attack that landed me in the ER. extreme anxiety. convinced i was dying. absolutely could not calm myself down with methods i use for my regular panic attacks. hyperventilating, and absolutely could not catch my breath. fainted. mouth tasted like i had just chewed twenty five 9 volt batteries. *unless you are giving this for the purpose of destroying your enemies, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THiS POiSON!* 10 minutes after taking my first dose, i started to feel racy, my heart beating quicker. i got into the tub to try to relax, but i continued to feel more and more anxiety, and was unable to catch my breath. i immediately tried to diagnose the issue, and looked up reviews to see if increasing anxiety was common. Made it through 2 reviews before the most intense and frightening panic attack of my life initiated. my heart was beating faster than every humming bird combined, and i was hyperventilating and sobbing. i was certain i was going to die, and begged my mother to take me to the ER. i fainted, woke up and took 3 ativan which didn't calm me down whatsoever. i went to the ER and was given xanax, as well as diazepam. an hour later i finally got control of myself, got home, and flushed the rest of the bottle down the toilet. i'm deathly allergic to penicillin, sulfas, and amoxicillin…and will now add this horror story of a medication to that list. DON'T TAKE if you have an anxiety/panic disorder, or you may just end up in hell. F 28 1 days

 1  For Severe Tooth Abscess So grateful I found this site today, I feel like I've been losing my mind. Was given this ABX to treat a tooth abscess, have been taking it as directed, with a full glass of water and food. The morning after I started taking it I felt very confused, dizzy, brain fog and just generally very "off". Not able to think clearly, chest palpitations, very weak and zero energy. I've gone from running 4 miles every day to not being able to mow my own lawn. I am stopping this medicine immediately and will be seeing my PCP. F 49 6 days

 2  A spider bite When I woke up on day three and fell back asleep right away. I woke up with terrible vivid nightmares. I continuously fell asleep through the day. Each time waking from a different dream, screaming and in complete panic mode. It also has a horrible taist. Chills headache heart arrhythmia. Disorientation. I have already had an allergic reaction to another anti doxycycline, and ceflexin and I'm worried after feeling all these symptoms and reading these reviews and I was kind of wondering is there anything you can do to prevent having a serious allergic reaction down the road to these medication like does yogurt or anything like that help to keep the bacteria and you that you need to stay away from the allergic reaction aspect or? Does anybody know? F 37 3 days

 4  Infected old belly button piercing Right after I take it I get very hot, start wheezing, runny nose, and have an asthma attack. Lasts about 2 hours. I take it with a Zyrtec and my inhaler. Once in the morning, once at night. It's hard to take but better than an infection. I have a belly button hole from 15 years ago and it gets infected once or twice a year and spreads into my belly button. This stops it dead in its tracks. Just grin and bear it as long as you don't get hives. 51 5 days

 4  Gum infection First two days I felt a little nauseous and tired. After that it went away and I just kept something in my stomach when taking it.

 2  Infection from ingrown toe nail I have a bad infection in my toe from an ingrown toe nail that has been getting worse for months. I was given this at the ER and from the podiatrist who removed the toe nail. This antibiotic gave me horrible anxiety attacks and very strange mental side effects. After reading everyone else's reviews I'm glad to see I'm not alone. The only reason I'm taking this antibiotic is because I'm allergic to all other antibiotics except this one. It gave me awful chest pains as well Be careful taking this if you have anxiety or mental health issues M 26 10 days

 5  Cellulitis of the knee Nausea, restlessness, extreme anxiety panic and headache I get repeated bouts of cellulitis, about twice a year. These side effects occurring every time and each time I can't figure out why I've become a sudden mental wreck. Then, when trying to remember other times when I've felt this way the common denominator in each incident is the medication!! It works for infection, but I wish there was a way to skip these horrible side effects! F 58 0 months

 1  Sinus Infection Anxiety, horrible indigestion, diarrhea, tiredness, weak, weird mental health issues like feeling drunk and not feeling right in my own skin. On day one and half of day two I felt okay. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, I felt like the devil himself had taken over my body and I had entered the fiery depths of hell. I was barely able to function and felt as though I was unable to maintain. All I could think about was "get back to the sofa". I was tired beyond belief, felt "drunk?" and just not right. I was crying just watching a television commercial, ummm what? Like the trooper I thought I was, I carried on taking the medication. Then it hit me, the fiery heart attack feeling of the heartburn. I had read this from others prior to taking this and thought "nah, I can handle it"..... I couldn't handle it! I was on the verge of calling 911 thinking for sure I was experiencing a heart attack. What else could be causing this intense fiery hell in my chest? After drinking a fizzy carbonated beverage and taking about 10 Tums to attempt to sooth this. I dozed off from exhaustion only to wake the next day feeling like had drank liquid fire. To those of you who are questioning if I laid down after taking this, I did not, I propped myself straight up in a chair for an hour after each dose. If you decide to try and take this, I wish you all the best. Know going in to it that you'll be entering Mr Toad's Wild Ride, filled with twists, turns, up's and down's, diarrhea, severe heartburn, extreme anxiety and other odd mental health issues.
