| 4 | Lung Infection | I think I am still having weird side effects 6 days after stopping. Weakness, confusion, pain in legs, kidneys and dark urine. Lungs feel far better though. It's like chosing your poison. | It works, I think. Time will tell. | M | 43 | 10 days 200mg | 4/27/2020 | 1 | sinusitis | chills, dizziness, weakness, anxiety, paresthesia, headache, elevated blood pressure, tinnitus, fuzzy vision, constipation/bloating, brain fog | I took doxy a few years ago with only getting a mild headache and upset stomach. It must have been a lesser dosage because this time I immediately began to suffer, moments after ingesting the first pill, with many side effects that I almost stopped it immediately, but I persevered through almost 5 days of hell even as newer symptoms continued to appear . I've now decided to stop it because the side effects are debilitating and scary. My head is pounding so hard it feel like it and my eyeballs are going to explode and tylenol barely touches it, along with the loud ringing in the ears it's driving me crazy. I'm taking frequent hot showers just to warm the constant chill from my body. I'm fortunate that I have a few Xanax to lean on for the anxiety symptoms and it helps some with the paresthesia. I'm allergic to penicillin but with the toxic repercussion of the doxy I'll have to be on the hunt for another antibiotic that I can tolerate. I'll never again ingest doxy unless its a life or death situation as the side effects are horrific for my sensitive body. | F | 63 | 5 days 100 2X day | 3/31/2020 | 3 | Lyme | Pain in joints muscle spasms | This really works for Lyme but the side effects are terrible. 5?days left | M | 45 | 6 weeks 100 | 3/14/2020 | 3 | acne | heartburn, anxiety, panic attacks, muscle aches | I am sad to find that my panic attacks which I have never before had in my life, are being caused by this antibiotic. It completely cured my acne, but the side effects have become unbearable. I wake up in the middle of the night feeling like I can’t breathe. Like I need to remind myself to breathe. There is heartburn and chest pains associated with the panic attacks. My neck has been so stiff and I’ve been overall aches. I could not figure out what was wrong with my until I read other reviews! | F | 21 | 30 days | 3/8/2020 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, heartburn | This drug made me feel like I had the worst stomach flu for days. I had to finally stop taking it & was prescribed a different antibiotic | F | 45 | 10 days 1X day | 1/3/2020 | 1 | UTI | I am allergic to penicillin so I was asked for this after I had taken this in the past with no side effects. This time I had severe side effects. Nausea, vomiting, depression, severe panic attacks, migraine like headaches, hot flashes, dizziness. I was taking it with probiotics which didn’t help. Tried Dramamine, Zofran, Tylenol, Aleve...nothing helped any side effect except Ativan helped diminish the panic attacks. My doctor had me stop. Days later I still experience these side effects to a lesser degree. | My infection side effects were gone within a day, so it works, but I will never touch this med again. | F | 39 | 2 days 100mg bid | 12/11/2019 | 1 | Eye infection | After second dose started experiencing dizziness. This side effect wasn’t listed on paper I received from pharmacy so I did a search and found this site. After reading all the negative reviews I decided to stop taking. Almost 24 hours after my last dose I was so dizzy I couldn’t get out of bed. Then the nausea and lower intestinal cramps set in. Long story short, took almost 7 hours to be able to walk without assistance. Four days later still have ringing in my ears. Never again! | F | 59 | 1 days 100 MG | 11/21/2019 | 3 | Lyme Disease | Feeling of weakness, occasional dizzy spells, and sporadic bouts of paresthesia in ulnar nerve distribution. | Hoping this works.

Overall, I felt really sick during the treatment and had to stop taking this antibiotic.
