| 2 | Sinus Infection | severe sweating, anxiety, paranioa, nausea (even with food), appetite suppressant, muscle/ joint aches and pains, some insomnia. | I have never reacted to any kind of antibiotic or medication before. Doxy made me feel real out of it and because of the anxiety it made me think I was the issue and not the drug. Soon after I stopped taking it, I felt back to normal again. | F | 27 | 7 days 100mg 1X day | 3/9/2014 | 1 | Acne | Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, stress overload (stress tolerance decreased) | I will stop taking this drug tomorrow and although my acne will come back, my mental health will hopefully be saved | F | 20 | 1.5 months 75 2X day | 2/22/2014 | 3 | chlamydia | nausea, fatigue, disorentation, upset stomach | F | 17 | 7 days 100mg 2X W | 1/17/2014 | 5 | anti malaria | Well heres my update after 12 days and stomach upset is gone and no new side effects hence the five rating. I take it in the morning with food. Anyways I'm thinking this is a good med for a change! | M | 24 | 12 days 100 mg 1X day | 12/15/2013 | 4 | anti malaria | Stomach upset for a brief time after each dose. I have 26 more doses though so final update is pending, but so far i would recommend this med, and i am sensitive to most antibiotics. | M | 24 | 4 days 100 mg | 12/7/2013 | 1 | acne | urination frequency even after medication was stopped | F | 27 | 3 days | 11/24/2013 | 1 | ear infection | 100 mg every 12 hrs. If you take low dose for acne its ok but for bacterial infection its a nightmare. Severe nausea , loss of appetite, tingling in feet and hands, etc. I can handle those but one of the side effects is trouble swallowing and your lymph nodes swell. My throat doesnt hurt but my nodes are big now. I know its from the meds. It happened after 4 pill. I have an middle ear infection from the flu. Had the flu weeks ago was told secondary infection. Im scared to take another pill due to swollen glands. Each time I take it they get bigger. I feel more ill on the meds then with my ears. Im not running a fever either. I warn anyone that takes this drug. Its not safe. Dont put your body through it unless its under 100 mg. A day. | F | 30 | 2 days 200 mg | 10/13/2013 | 1 | UTI | I will never take this medication again, it gave me a lot of side effects that i can even count with the fingers of my hands, im been off the medication for 2 weeks and im still having side effects, heart burns, anxiety, blurred vision, and nausea! Im start to feling better, but im still with anxiety thinking that. The side effects will come back! To anybody who is suffering from this side effects Tell your self that is not you that is the medication Be strong And remember that everything will be alright soon! | M | 27 | 1 weeks 100MG | 9/10/2013 | 2 | pid ovarian cyst ruptured | Never again i went in for simple pelvis and lower back pain.i was prescribed this medicine for 10days didnt help so prescribed again. Started with nausea and vomiting. Went to the er told the doc not to prescribe it to me ,he did so anyways for 14days. Now everything hurts,severe muscle spasms,severe headaches,chest tightness mild chemical burn to esophagus, leg pain,swollen lymph nodes.itchy skin and dry eyes at time. Oh did i forget joint pain. This medicine should be tooken off the market.all in all im in worse shape than i was before.. | F | 25 | 2 months 100mg | 9/6/2013 | 1 | Upper Respiratory Infection | Severe vomiting, severe stomach pains, total loss of appetite, weak feeling, bloody diarrhea, muscle cramps, rash which burned on contact with water. | I was given this medicine in the hospital emergency department after being taken in with a asthma attack and suspected of having a chest infection. Within one hour I was vomiting bright green vomit, and kept on doing this even when I had nothing inside me to vomit anymore, which caused immense pain. This lasted for hours and even anti sickness medication did not work. I then developed a rash which burned when it came into contact with water. I only took ONE dose, and I am still having to force food down my throat two days later. Each mealtime is now a battle between me and my stomach which says 'I'm full' after one mouthful. I wonder if this will end or if I will land up needing more painful investigations. | F | 27 | 1 days 100mg 1X day | 3/13/2013 | 1 | Acne | Severe dehydration, heart palpitations, dizziness, felt drugged, thick tongue, severe anxiety | We didn't connect this drug and the problems our son was having until he had been passing out regularly and had been referred to a cardiologist. Scary drug. | M | 16 | 2 months 100 MG 1X day | 2/14/2013 | 4 | acne | Nauesa without food, nails and hair started to grow | F | 26 | 2 months 100mg | 1/25/2013 | 4 | Acne from testosterone therapy | I take it for huge boil like acne on my back and chest. On it now for two weeks and seems to really be clearing my skin up. All old boils are now shrinking and puss has turned clear instead of white or dark brown. I take it an hour after eating as it says in the script. I do feel like I just got off a carnival ride that turned me green if you know what I'm saying. But at night I take well after dinner and I don't notice a thing. I hope it continues to be tolerable as it seems to work for the acne issues. | M | 40 | 2 days 100 | 1/7/2013 | 4 | UTI | stomach cramps | Didn't have the nausea like alot of people on here are saying, but I did get really bad cramps on the last 2 days that lasted all day. I thought it was just because my period is due soon but the cramps stopped as soon as I stopped the medicine so I'm thinking it was the medicine. | F | 24 | 7 days 100 MG 2X day | 11/10/2012 | 3 | chlamydia | nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, chills, fatigue, disorientation | F | 23 | 7 days 100 mg 2X day | 7/23/2012 | 4 | UTI And candida | Increased Hunger, Nausea, and vomiting. | Taken with every Three day dose of Fluconazole 150mg | F | 23 | 10 days 100mg 2X day | 5/29/2012 | 4 | Acne | Heartburn on a couple occasions. Be sure to take with food and not with milk products. | Has helped my acne clear up on forehead. I am taking it in conjunction with Ziana. I seen an improvement after 11 weeks. It gets a little worse before it gets better.. proven fact. | F | 32 | 65 days 100 1X day | 3/19/2012 | 4 | mycobacterium chelonae | Fatigue the first few days - then reflux, GI tract problems and loss of appetite for several days | I am taking doxycycline along with azithromycin for a lung infection and, at a minimum, I will need to remain on medication for a year. It is extremely important to take probiotics when you're on antibiotics (take two hours BEFORE OR AFTER the antibiotics). I took the doxycycline with food and also followed all the recommendations -- i.e., drinking a full glass of water, not lying down for a while after taking the antibiotics, etc.). Despite this, there were days after starting the doxycycline where I was unusually fatigued, had reflux and other GI tract problems, etc. so it takes a while for your body to adjust to this strong antibiotic. However, in my case, this is one of the few antibiotics that can be used with the azithromycin for my particular condition. | F | 62 | 14 days 100 mg. 1X day | 1/1/2012 | 5 | moderate acne | mild nausea, alternating increase and lack of appetite, dizziness, increased perspiration | I began taking doxy after having endured years of light to moderate to severe (depending on the time of year) acne, and was simultaneously put on retin-a micro and Yaz to treat the various causes of my acne. I take the doxy with meals, because despite the bottle directing me to take it on an empty stomach, my doc told me this would bring about dreadful nausea as the doxy corroded anything around it, and food would be a barrier between the med and the stomach lining (or wherever it dissolved). I eat it with yoghurt, as this is supposed to prevent yeast infections, b/c frankly, I can do without those. It's been great clearing up my skin, but has alternating weeks made me so hungry I could eat my hand and so nauseated by food I could toss my cookies at the thought of cookies. So, my body isn't terribly pleased with my weight fluctuations. Plus, every time I stand up, I get very close to blacking out, literally my sight fogs up with grey and gets spotty with colour as happens when you get that woozy, and although it has been rather hot here lately, I seem to sweat more than past summer weather has induced, and more than most people I see on the street. Despite all these irritating side-effects, the end result is worth it, because the perspiration only makes my clear skin glow! | F | 20 | 6 weeks 100 mg 2X day | 7/26/2011 | 2 | Reduce severity of acne infection | Nausea, extreme anxiety, depression, quakes, profuse sweating, highly varying blood pressures, random muscle pains. | The side effects severely outweighed the benefits of taking this drug, as there are plenty of other equally effective antibiotics available. The depression got bad enough at one point where I had it in my mind that cutting my hand would feel good and that I should drink the blood after I cut my palm open. I'm still scared by these memories today. | M | 15 | 3 weeks 100 2X day | 6/22/2011 |
