| 2 | Adult acne | Incredibly severe headaches like I have never experienced before, muscular pain, severe joint pain, general feeling of unwell, fatigue, loss of appetite, some nausea | i have taken this medication before for the same reason with no issues but this time the experience was so terrible, I am incredibly uncomfortable and feel so sick! | F | 27 | 10 days 100mg | 6/28/2015 | 1 | Upper respiratory infection | Extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, anxiety and worry, especially at night. Dizzyness and feeling off balance with mild blurred vision. General aches and pains in digestive system, kidneys and bladder area. Night sweats and a feverish (hot cold) feeling. Joint pain and mild muscle weakness. | Symptoms persisting a week after medication stopped although appetite has returned a little. Anxiety is AWFUL and makes you become really irrational! | M | 38 | 7 days 100 mg | 6/24/2015 | 4 | Tick bite | fever, achy joints, severe fatigue | will not take again after finishing dosage | M | 62 | 10 days 100mg 2X day | 6/7/2015 | 1 | Acne | -frequent urination -itchiness -insomnia | F | 17 | 1 weeks 100 mg | 5/26/2015 | 1 | Lyme Disease | After about a week on this med, I started experiencing SEVERE stomach pain and SEVERE headaches- everyday- ALL DAY! I was constantly nauseous, had very little appetite, and some acid reflux. I was starting to feel a little better from the Lyme, so like an idiot, I kept taking it anyway until I finished the bottle (1 month). It's now over 3 weeks later and I still have daily SEVERE stomach pain, nausea, and lack of appetite. The stomach pain moves around all over (including pelvic pain) and has made my life miserable. I am having a colonoscopy and endoscopy done tomorrow to see what damage doxy did to my stomach. | Has anyone else experienced these severe side effects- even after 3 weeks of stopping the med? I am taking probiotics now, hopefully that will help. Can't wait to see what the GI doctor says about my test results. Having both procedures done tomorrow. Will NEVER take this again! | F | 49 | 30 days 100 mg 2X day | 5/22/2015 | 4 | Sinus infection | None until the last two days of treatment. Then was extremely fatigued and slept really late and deeply. Also had stomach cramps and felt sick. No actual vomiting though. | This antibiotic DID IT'S JOB! I had already taken another antibiotic the week previously for an ear infection - didn't work, just moved to my sinuses! Doxycycline got rid of the infection once and for all. | F | 44 | 8 days 100mg 1X day | 5/3/2015 | 4 | 1 days | 4/30/2015 | 3 | tooth/gum infection | Headache, slight nausea and fatigue | I've been taking this med for an abscessed tooth. After 4 days, I have noticed a difference in the swelling, it's much smaller, and the pain is much less, but where it seems to be working, I've been suffering with a nagging headache, nausea, even with food in my stomach, and I'm very fatigued. I hope this med works, so I can decide if the side effects were worth it. | F | 40 | 10 days 100 | 4/27/2015 | 1 | Adult acne | Severe headache, bloody stool, confusion,achy all over, complete loss of appetite. | Worked really well on my acne, but makes me wanna cut my head off to stop it from hurting. I've had this headache for 3 days now. Hope my Dr can give me something else because I can't live like this. | F | 33 | 3 days | 4/25/2015 | 1 | uti | Severe anxiety, depression lost my job couldn't function extreme fear unable to sleep antisocial took 100mg 2x a day | Havent taken for 2 weeks feeling better anxiety comes in waves | M | 37 | 2 weeks 100 | 3/21/2015 | 2 | infection from an earring | Every time i take it i get so sick that I vomit then i'm so hungry whenever i take it | F | 6 days | 3/20/2015 | 4 | Sinusitis and Tonsilistus | Took double dose on first day as prescribed but was sick within 30mins and sicked the tablets up. Called doc and asked for additional prescription and took another double dose after stomach settled. Felt nauseous but wasn't sick again. Face started twitching on first night (was worried it was Bell's palsy!!) but because my sinuses were so infected and swollen they had been pressing on nerves and so as the tablets worked I think this is what caused the twitching!! It's worth preserving if you have sinusitis because these are suppose to be the best ones for it. My sinusitus was extreme and I wanted rid so I was prepared to put up with the side effects. Not eating too much for 7days didn't hurt ME as I lost my Christmas fat! | Would recommend but don't expect to feel normal - you must be ill to need to take these and these are antibiotics so they will take it out of you. | F | 37 | 7 days 100 | 3/19/2015 | 1 | Misdiagnosis - skin infection | Burning throat, esophagus and chest pain. Couldn't swallow, eat, drink, sleep and so painful and went back to the doctor 5+ times. Waste of money, had to take off work, 8 prescriptions and still trying to figure out what it is? It is Wednesday and stopped taking it Sunday! Worst now than before... Gave me prescription for magic mouthwash and protonix but it is no better at all! GI doctors are closed today for inclement weather! So much pain, so frustrated and feels like someone is burning, grabbing my esophagus, pulling it down to my stomach like a slinky and letting it go as it burns going all the way back up! I just want the pain to go away! I'm getting depressed, exhausted from no sleep or eat. And so much pain several times every minute! Ughhhh I hate this medicine! | Was never told this happens in a large percentage of people who take doxycycline! Please share your experience and tell me when this excruciating pain will get better!!! | F | 33 | 3 days 100 mg | 3/4/2015 | 2 | chlamydia | SEVERE HEADACHES | i just pray the side effect is worth it. | F | 18 | 5 days 100 | 2/28/2015 | 1 | boils | After 30 min I felt nauseated, so I ate some food. Within 15 min, I had vomited 6 times. | F | 30 | 10 days 100mg | 2/27/2015 | 1 | sinuses | sick!!! | I have just taken the initial 2x100mg dose, and have been violently sick... I have just googled it and it led me to this site, I will not be taking anymore!! | F | 29 | 1 days 100mg | 2/26/2015 | 1 | Bartholin cyst | Severe nausea and vomiting, heartburn, acid reflux. It feels like morning sickness. Also stomach cramping, sensitivity to light, sound, and touch, fatigue, and dizziness. Low energy. Anxiety and irritability. Still experiencing side effects and I haven't taken the medication in two days. Would never take this again. | Awful. | F | 27 | 14 days 100 MG 2X day | 2/9/2015 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Terrible medication. After initial double dose I was violently sick and have been for 3 days now. As most others on here I'm getting the acid reflux and flu like symptoms including feeling very light headed. | M | 38 | 3 days 100mg | 2/7/2015 | 1 | Post Nasal Drip | WORST. ANTIBIOTIC. EVER!!! Flu like symptoms, constant nausea, heart burn, joint pain 3 days after stopping - only took 5 pills!!!! | I had post nasal drip for about a month- nothing too horrible, but annoying, so I went to the urgent care to get amox. that I normally take but get a slight rash each time. This new PA said- a rash was a reaction, so she would not write me my usual, and gave me doxycycline instead. I WAS NOT SICK BEFORE TAKING THIS MED. After 2 days on this, I had lack of energy, felt like I was coming down with the flu. Woke up all night with heart burn that wouldn't stop. I quit this drug 3 DAYS AGO- AND I STILL HAVE THE HEARTBURN and aching. this stuff is dangerous. You don't take medicine to feel worse than the original problem, but that is what this does. BEWARE BEWARE. I am still sick and haven't taken this drug for days. I think it messed up the normal natural acidic levels of my stomach- prob. killed all the good bacteria. I have doubled up on my probiotic and drink Alkaline water 32 oz a day but no help!! Dangerous stuff. Please dont take this. I yoga, I am a very healthy person and this stuff has incapacitated me. | F | 33 | 3 days 100 2X day | 2/4/2015 | 1 | Ear/Sinus infection | Started with slight nausea and feeling full after eating a few bites, each day got worse, finally in the middle of the night woke up with severe reflux and my entire throat and upper abdomen was on fire. Can't take my vitamins, can't take care of my kids because I am in pain and nauseated, and exhausted from not sleeping even one hour do to the stomach pain and nausea. I drank 16 oz water, ate a full meal at 4PM, then took the medicine. so it is nothing I did wrong. This pill is the worst ever. Please save yourself and don't take this! | I googled my symptoms and found this site. I WISH I WOULD HAVE READ THIS SITE FIRST AND I WOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN THIS PILL!!! I am going to check here FIRST. Please do the same. I have most of the negative side effects listed for this drug by the reviewers. It will happen to you. I am hoping I don't experience the long-term effects many reviewers have. You don't expect to get sicker while taking medication, but this is what has happened. I feel worse, have worse symptoms, I was better off drug free and letting my body try to fight through this. I | F | 28 | 3 days 100 2X day | 2/2/2015 |
