Can function, so dizzy. | F | 38 | 2 months 100mg | 10/25/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | It's been 6 months and my vision is still off! It's like my eyes and brain forgot how to work together. My eyes don't focus in sync anymore. I can't read or watch tv for any length if time. I had such head pressure on this med. This has caused severe stress for me.

I keep getting other infections too. | Will never take this again! | F | 40 | 10 days 100 | 10/11/2016 | 1 | Sinus, lung, and stomach infections | Nauseous, dizzy, diareah, vomiting, headaches,skin rashes, high blood pressure, stomach aches, very drained of energy, foggy thinking | I don't think this antibiotic has helped me at all, this as for an infection in my stomach, lungs,and sinus yet it has not made any feel much better. I have stomach cramps constantly and it makes it tough to concentrate and work. | M | 39 | 7 days 100 | 9/27/2016 | 1 | Acne | I have not mentally felt the same since I took this drug. I've been scatterbrained and my concentration is gone and I can trace it back to the days I took this for acne. I stopped taking it because I felt miserable and felt like I was dying. I often find myself spacing out and I never felt this way before taking doxycycline. It was a sudden change overnight. I obviously have no definitive proof that the antibiotic did it to me but it happened as I was taking it. Would not recommend it. Just deal with the acne until you're 22 honestly. | M | 19 | 4 days | 9/26/2016 | 1 | STD | Joint pain, muscle pain, hip pain that felt like an ice pick stabbing me. It was just horrible. Never again, | Don't take this drug. Use an alternative antibiotic! | M | 49 | 10 days | 9/21/2016 | 1 | boil on my nose | Dull headache turned to a bad headache on day three.

Thank God | M | 55 | 3 days 100 | 9/18/2016 | 2 | skin infection | headache, nausea | have taken in the past without problems, but this time experienced headache and nausea on day 2. probably will work well, but I'm switching antibiotics. there are other options | F | 62 | 2 days 100mg 2X day | 9/16/2016 | 1 | Cystic acne | Heartburn, headache,joint pain, muscle pain, depression, anxiety, bleeding gums...it was horrible! | Don't take it! | F | 52 | 10 days | 9/9/2016 | 2 | Tooth abscess | Bloating, head pressure,gnawing upper abdomen pain,throat swelling sensation | Ive taken this a yr ago and it done the same thing with the bloating all in belly its crazy like i gained 10 lbs in couple days, then the swollen throat sensation is enough to make u wanna stop taking them,,this medication i believe is too powerful for the human body, it never took the infection completely away before tooth was extracted, it seems like it works then it dont ,,then it seems like is it side effects or an allergy to the drug, i only take because im allergic to other antibiotics, wish there was a new safer no side effect one in the making | F | 44 | 10 days 100 | 9/5/2016 | 3 | Lyme disease | Nausea on third day when taken in morning on empty stomach. I also have experienced anxiety and panic attacks that sent me to the ER a few times with my heart racing. I have anxiety already though just not this bad. Severe muscle aches in shoulders and legs. Joint pain in almost all joints that come and go. Sunburn feeling with pain on shoulders and face. Insomnia. Many other things I just can't remember. Now to be fair, lyme disease can cause all this as well. So who knows the culprit. | Doxycycline is a great antibiotic that has been around a long time. If your doctor thinks you need to give it a try then I recommend you give it your best shot. I just finished my 1 month course yesterday and can't wait to see if all these side effects go away. If not, well they probably are related to lyme and not Doxy. I will say I think the Doxy helped me sleep. Yesterday was my first day without it and I laid in bed awake all night.... | M | 33 | 1 months 100mg x2 d | 8/19/2016 | 1 | sinusitis infection | Just too last dose of 10-day run, also just now found out others were having these reactions. Started with chest pain/tightness, the severe muscular back pain that left me without a pillow soft enough to lean against, no chairs, nothing. Have to lay on side only. Then it started (&still does) feeling like I'm breathing fire into my body. Throat burns unbelievably & the burning goes all the way down & in my lungs. I keep trying to find something anything to drink that will sooth it, nothing puts out the fire. My vision!! Was wearing cheater reading glasses before this, but now it's so hard to see. Have tried 3 diff. strengths. It's never going to end. My dr. is blowing me off saying it's just a fibro flare. | Think it's trying to kill me. | M | 50 | 10 days 100mg 2X day | 7/8/2016 | 4 | suspected lyme disease | diarrea on and off heart burn burning sensation all over numbness in limbs cold sweats feeling generally unwell, tired and spaced out | have taken in the past for different problem but had to stop before finishing course. I was determined to complete this time around and managed to, If you can persevere the side effects do decrease but always consult a medical proffesional if unsure or concerned | M | 37 | 14 days 100mg 2X day | 6/29/2016 | 3 | Tick bite | Horrible headache,nausea | I have a severe infection from a tick bite. Tests have not yet confirmed Lyme disease or Rocky mountain spotted fever so I am unsure if the headache and nausea are actually from the doxycycline or the infection. The medication does seem to be working though. | F | 51 | 3 days 100 mg | 6/23/2016 | 1 | STI | Extreme sunburn. Goosebump rash all over arms and inner thighs (never experienced before taking). | I've never had a bad reaction to a medication until my doctor prescribed this for me. Experienced extreme sensitivity to the sunlight. Although I was not in direct sunlight, I still experienced a sunburn with HIGH humidity and HIGH temperatures. Also, rash continues to exist on my arms and inner thighs. Slowly clearing up without any permanent scarring. Fortunately, side effects are not life threatening. | M | 29 | 6 days 100 2X W | 6/23/2016 | 1 | Tick bite | Initially had headache and some nausea but those stopped then it went to extreme fatigue to the point of wishing to just be able to sleep all day and all night. Suddenly after I got severe random joint pains. Thumbs, wrists, knees, ankles one night the pains were so severe I was nearly crying in bed bit when telling my doctor he told me to take ibuprofen and try and continue on to finish the treatment in hopes of avoiding lymes disease. Then one night I woke at 3am with a massive panic attack! Which is the worst feeling I the world to try and calm yourself down stop shaking trembling nervous go th bathroom pace then when you feel the attack lessen your arms become scarily weak and rubbery. I wish I would have went with my gut to stop this right away. Now I sit here and suffer I hopes of the drugs half life getting out if my system quickly so I don't keep having awful panic attacks | Listen to your body. You know yourself better than any doctor | F | 48 | 8 days | 6/10/2016 |
