| 1 | Follicle infection | Lightheadedness, nausea, burning sensation on the skull .pressure dropped felt like as if i m gonna die. | F | 36 | 10 days 100mg | 3/24/2017 | 1 | Animal bite | I was prescribed Doxy for a cat bite to my hand. After the first day all I could taste was metal, Dr said this would go away, it didn't. After 2 days I deveolped a rash on my foot and had been running a fever of 102 for two days, with Ibuprofen. Went to the ER twice once for a fever of 103 and chest rash and again fever of 104.7 and high blood pressure. I was given IV antibiotics and sent home as they felt it was the infection still. After 5 days I couldn't eat anything I felt so sick decided to skip that nights dose. On the 6th day I couldn't drink and woke up with blisters under my tongue and a full body rash. Returned to the ER, was admitted with a 104.7 temp, kidneys were shutting down (I pissed red, not the color you want to see) liver was failing and developed hepatitis. Another day and I would have been dead were the words the Dr said. I was put on IV steroids (did I mention the first guy blew out my vien? Yeah just to top off the whole dieing part.) After two days, I was released because I asked to go home, I missed my kids and hate hospitals .I had to be on steroids for a month and have labs drawn every two days to monitor my liver function. Monitoring then dropped to once a month, 3 months, 6 months, and annual. It damaged part of my liver and threw my immune system into chaos. My plalettes were so low I could barely stay awake more then a couple of hours, even on steriods.They said I had a severe systemic reaction, which is rare. I followed that with a year of in | F | 32 | 5 days | 3/22/2017 | 1 | Chest infection | First course, I was fine and had no side effects, infection was so severe was given a 2nd course a few days after 1st course. After taking the first 2 pills on this course, I vomited really bad, put it down to infection, 2nd dose same thing happened. I decided to split the dose up to see if that helped, but no, the vomiting became so severe I couldn't make the bathroom and I felt even worse than I did with the chest infection. Every time I took it, I vomited so much I thought my insides were coming out. Phoned GP and he put me on erythromycin and told me to discontinue the Doxycycline. This med has now been added to my list of meds I'm allergic too. Absolutely horrendous medicine, so glad it will never be prescribed to me again. | It took me 3 months to get better, I have never had a chest infection so bad, always wonder if the Doxycycline was part of the reason my recovery was so slow | F | 50 | 3 days | 3/11/2017 | 1 | Syphyllis | Frequent Vomiting, upset stomach, fatigue. | F | 25 | 1 months 100 mg | 3/9/2017 | 3 | Infection | Very sick during and after | Side effects are very bad | M | 50 | 7 days 100 mg | 3/4/2017 | 3 | Bacteria in lungs | Burning and very red face and hands. It looks and feels as if I was I had heated water poured on me. Also head aches, dizzy and some vision problems | I take 2700mg of antibiotics a day. Only 200 of this is doxy. | F | 66 | 2 months 100 mg. 2x | 3/4/2017 | 1 | Rosacea | First dose I felt extremely nauseated, eating helped. Second dose made me feel like I had the flu. Foggy head, itchy, watery eyes, diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, light sensitivity, throat irritation, and almost had an anxiety attack. Last dose was at 7:30am and stomach still hurts at midnight. | Side effects definitely are not worth it for me. Super bummed my doc did not warn me and I paid $108 for the prescription to feel awful. I would rather have a red forehead. | F | 36 | 2 days 100mg | 3/2/2017 | 3 | Sinus infection | Severe headaches started on day three of taking the medicine. They were so severe I couldn't sleep. Nausea , Upset stomach, jittery, coughing and loss of appetite. | This is the first time I've taken this medicine for a sinus infection. It made me feel tired and more sick before I got better. It did help drain my sinuses and all the sinus pressure but took until the 5th day to actually work. And make me feel a little better. Hopefully took care of my problem! | F | 40 | 10 days 100 MG | 2/22/2017 | 5 | Impinteigo | Itching and mild chills. | doxycycline is a great medicine. Mild side effects. They get easier. Bactrim was horrible and not doing the job. Best antibiotic but powerful. | M | 46 | 10 days 100mg, 2* | 2/21/2017 | 3 | Bacterial infection | Leg cramps, pimples in mouth, painful and sore throat. | F | 33 | 7 days | 2/17/2017 | 1 | SINUS INFECTION | I was hospitalized due to the worst stomach pains imaginable. I had diarrhea, dizziness, Vertigo and vomiting. I do not recommend this product the doctor told me that they prescribe this product for soldiers in Afghanistan for malaria and many soldiers experience same symptoms that pretty much incapacitated them. If you can ask for Amoxicillin. My doctor told me all of these symptoms are common with this medication. | F | 37 | 7 days | 2/13/2017 | 1 | Acute Sinusitis & Ear Infection | Nausea, Muscle fatigue, Muscle pain, Tightness in Chest, Tightening of the throat, Insomnia, Blurred Vision, Anxiety, Agitation, Disorientation, Tinnitus, Extreme Weakness, Loss of Equilibrium, Diarrhea | Do Not Take this drug if you have any other options. I'm on day 4 & am going back tmrw to get a new antibiotic. Allergic to Penicillin, but asked specifically for Erythromycin, given this awful strong drug. Many of these symptoms are NOT listed on drug side effects. KEEP POSTING | F | 47 | 4 days 100mg | 2/8/2017 | 1 | Bacteria in culture | Stopped taking medication after severe headache. 4 days after stop taking it, I am still having headaches, dizziness, bloates stomach, just an overall feeling of ill. Never felt this way before and was feeling great before taking this pill....something is not right with this pill. This is not medicine, you should not have to take a medivine that gives u worse problems that you started with. I am currently looking into natural remedies. This medication needs to be off the market. I am hoping my body recovers from this | F | 34 | 4 days 100 mg | 2/8/2017 | 3 | Sinus Infection | Severe nausea, vomiting, brain fog, insomnia, severe depression, jittery, anxious, chilling, bloating, excessive going #2, and last symptom I can think of which I haven't seen mentioned, belching! | I am 3 days into a 10 day cycle, and the only thing I will say good is that I took the first pill at night, so that next morning, to date I have had no sinus headache or pressure or have had to take any medicines to help with those issues, BUT, you just have to decide for yourself if you can go through all the many likely side effects you will have. So for the last 3 days, I have had all the above side effects, and weighing the good, for it has helped what I'm taking it for. I wish I would've done my research before I took this medicine..honestly I'm pretty sure I would've taken something else that I've taken before that's helped. Do your homework and just know you are not going crazy and me reading all these reviews have made me feel better that I'm not alone. | F | 45 | 10 days 2x | 2/2/2017 | 1 | Pneumonia | Agitation Sadness Impending doom Brief bouts of crying | I would recommend the manufacture of this drug take this side effect much more seriously, if unknown to the patient it could cause unknown consequences | F | 41 | 10 days 100 MG x2 | 2/2/2017 | 1 | Lyme antibodies on Western Blot | Central chest pain right where heart is, tingling in ring and pinky fingers on both hands, both arms feel tired and ache, pains in left forearm and wrist, shaking, tachycardia, vision impairment, sleeplessness, anxiety, throbbing headache, loss of appetite, nausea, feeling like moving but lying still. | I started taking this when I was told I tested positive for antibodies on the Western Blot. I was sick for about 70-something days and had started to feel slightly better. Then I started taking this and all my symptoms are back and worse after three days on this. I'm going to stop taking it and see a naturopath doctor about herbal treatment for Lyme, if I even do have it. It would be chronic Lyme (late stage) so doxycycline wouldn't even treat that. Don't take this drug. Ask for an alternative or find a natural treatment. | F | 30 | 8 days 100mg 2xD | 1/28/2017 | 5 | Severe sinus/bronchial infection | Diarrhea | This is a very strong medication so I expected side effects. I usually get a bit of diarrhea with antibiotics and this is what happened. The only time I got acid reflux was by not paying attention to the instruction sheet included with the drug. You're told to not take it at least an hour or two before lying down; I took antacid and it stopped. I started feeling better in just a few days. I went through the entire 10-day prescription taking it with food, never just by itself. | M | 62 | 10 days 100 2X day | 1/16/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Upset stomach, dizziness, fogginess | Would not use again | F | 58 | 7 days 100mg 2X day | 1/14/2017 | 4 | Bronchitis | Tired | F | 56 | 2 weeks | 1/10/2017 | 1 | Sinus infection | Awful feeling- on day 5 of drug noticed severe nausea and severe anxiety. Realized it could be medicine so stopped right away. I have now been off for a week and a day and am still having stomach discomfort, had muscle weakness a few days ago and just feeling "off". Won't take again. | F | 35 | 5 days 100 MG | 1/6/2017 |
