| 2 | acne | Nausea/dizziness when taken on an empty stomach Severe depression | Once I figured out not to take these on an empty stomach, I did not think I would have any problems with the drug. Then I was hit like a ton of bricks with severe depression. I am stopping taking them today. Will contact my dermatologist and see if there is something else I can take. | F | 22 | 5 days 100 2X day | 1/8/2015 | 3 | Chlamydia | The side effects changed over the course of taking the medication. At first, it caused some confusion, depression, anxiety, sweats, dizziness, and panic attacks. This only lasted 2-3 days. Then I started experiencing extreme nausea and I vomitted a few times. I then began taking the medication with a little food to help the nausea. I am on the last day of the medication now and I have experiencing extreme itching on my arms and legs and morning sickness. | Overall, I hope it cured my infection. If it did not cure my infection, then it was definitely not worth the side effects. If it cured my infection, then it was worth it. | F | 22 | 10 days | 1/7/2015 | 1 | I had an inflammation | It's,the worse med I ever taken instead to help me it almost killed me I am thinking now to fill a low suite against the manfacutur think 10 times before using that position so called Doxycycline it's,the biggest mistake I ever did | M | 56 | 1 days 100 | 1/2/2015 | 1 | Lyme disease | Horrible stomach pain, made me throw up, worsened my overall symptoms rather than helping, supposed to be taken on an empty stomach by my stomach couldn't handle it | Take with food if at all possible.. | F | 16 | 10 days 100 mg | 12/31/2014 | 1 | sinus infection | headache that was very severe.Blurred vision,dizzy,had stroke sometime during the medicines side effects. | Will never take again . | F | 58 | 7 days 1X day | 12/30/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Terribleeeee stomach cramps... Abdominal pain... Nausea | Do NOT recommend | F | 22 | 1 days | 12/27/2014 | 1 | sinus infection | Nausea | Not touching my infection. | M | 52 | 5 days 100 mg | 12/5/2014 | 1 | Bronchitis | Severe depression & anxiety unlike I have ever felt before in my life. I have been off it for 3 days, and the depression has worsened since getting off it. I highly recommend everyone to not to take this drug. This has been absolutely horrible. The drug didn't help very much with the bronchitis anyway. It would have healed without any drug help just as quickly. Other more tolerable side effects have been nausea (when I took it without much food) & heartburn, which I am still experiencing. But the depression is the dealbreaker. I might be moving back in with my parents for awhile for my own protection. | HATE this drug. I will never take it again, no matter what!!! | M | 36 | 7 days 100 2X day | 11/23/2014 | 2 | Acne | I am taking this medicine (100 mg) twice a day for an unspecified amount of time. I've been experiencing very extreme nausea about 30 minutes after taking the medicine and it usually lasts about an hour. Nausea is more extreme in the morning when I've eaten less. So far my face has felt a little less sore but I haven't seen much improvement physically. Side affects might wear off after taking it longer, but so far the nausea prevents me from functioning in the morning at school. | Most prescriptions will instruct you to take this on an empty stomach. Do NOT do this. Take with plenty of water, maybe milk and a good bit of food. An empty stomach will cause nausea. | F | 18 | 3 days 100 | 11/14/2014 | 1 | Anti malarial | After 5 weeks began to suffer SEVERE acid reflux, it was extremely painful. Then came the anxiety/panic attacks. I stopped taking the medication right away after researching it and the side effects. It has been 3 weeks since I stopped and while the acid reflux has improved the anxiety is still present and terrible. | I will never take this medication again. | M | 42 | 5 weeks 160 1X day | 11/3/2014 | 2 | PID undiagnosed bacteria | DREADFUL NAUSEA - but no more than 30 mins, starting 15 minutes after taking the pill. | F | 21 | 14 days 100mg 2X day | 10/29/2014 | 1 | UTI | Fatigue, severe anxiety, dizziness, nausea, loss of appetite, emotional, drowsyness, feeling drugged, equilibrium was off, depression, scary mental thoughts of harming one self/others. I DO NOT recommend this drug to anyone! Ask Dr for a lighter antibiotic. Im very sensitive to meds, but this one took the cake. It's very scary, and as soon as I felt this I decided quickly to get off of it. I've been off it for a day and a half and I can still feel the side effects...horrible just horrible. | F | 28 | 4 days 100mg | 10/27/2014 | 1 | Pneumonia | I became severely nauseated, after first dose. I had food in my stomach. So I took zofran, and it hardly worked. | F | 39 | 1 days 100 mg | 8/24/2014 | 5 | Chlaymdia | Zero side effects except a very slight nausea for 2-3 minutes with the first pill. I tend to have an iron stomach so I'm sure this helps. I also made sure I ate a small meal and drank a full glass of water as recommended by the doctor. | This is a proven drug developed in the 1960's, so it's been around for a long time. Millions have taken it. | M | 27 | 10 days 100 2X day | 6/19/2014 | 2 | Paronychia | It bothers my stomach and I have to take it with food. | I was diagnosed with paronychia on my fingure and prescribed with Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg twice a day. I was told the infection would be getting better in 3-4 days. I am on 6th day of this medicine. The infection is not getting worse, but not getting better neither. I was told to contine to continue on thie medicine. | F | 7 days 2X day | 6/7/2014 | 4 | Possible lymes disease. | I took this for a tick bite that was very inflamed. The results came back negative for lymes. Thats why i was prescribed this med. the meds worked to take the swelling down and healed my foot. However i was supposed to rake the for ten days i stopped at 8... My hands now feel like there is ice running through my veins. This is the day i stopped taking them. | F | 44 | 8 days | 6/1/2014 | 1 | After having an HSG | I had severe rashes on my legs, arms as well as every part of my body. I could not sleep at night and my legs became swollen, could not walk very well. This is not a good drug to take at all. Stopped after taking it for five days, took it twice daily. | F | 34 | 10 days 100mg | 4/26/2014 | 2 | Infection in my jaw | I began this drug after a prolonged and persistant infection in my jaw brought on from an impacted tooth (I had the root canal months ago). Dentist said the infection had been present for the better part of a year, so fighting it may be futile (other option is surgery to cut out the infected bone and reconstructing it). With this med, I began having light headedness, loss of appetite, diarrhea, dehydration, periodic "loopiness" (almost a drunk feeling; and I do not drink) and tingling in extremities. I am military personnel so I stay active ..... impossible on this medication. Unable to run more than a few hundred feet before my head "swims" and I give out of energy. I have to fight vomiting for about an hour after each dose. The diarrhea has been constant, although, not what I would call "severe"; maybe, pudding consistency. I drink fluids, constantly, with no relief of thirst or other symptoms of dehydration. With all of this going on, the worst part is ..... no relief to the infection. Gums are still swollen and sore; Same 3 teeth are loose and protruding forward. I only give this a 2 because I am on the 8th day of 30, that I will take this. Hoping and praying that all of these negatives will improve ..... especially that the drug begins working. | M | 45 | 8 days 100MG X 2 | 4/7/2014 | 1 | Chlaymdia | Severe head aches pretty much instantly after taken and last all day. | F | 20 | 7 days 2x | 4/6/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Severe rash on lower legs and palm of hands, including huge puss filled blisters. Finally started to go away 3 weeks after stopping medicine. Only to have rash and blisters return again | Bad thing about this medicine is that if you have a reaction with rash and stop taking it, you will get better after a few weeks, only to have the side effects and rash return again and again...I was told by a physician that it could go on for years. It has made my life miserable! | F | 50 | 4 days 100mg 1X day | 3/21/2014 |
