| 1 | Sinus infection | Constant sinus area headache and neck pain. Fatigue, dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea off and on. Felt very horrible. | I was prescribed this for a sinus infection, and will never take this again. I felt terrible the whole time I was on it. I stopped taking it at 7 days because my head hurt so bad constantly. I have had two episodes of watery diarrhea, once while I was taking it and the second day after I stopped. That is today while I'm writing this. I still have my headache, fatigue and off balance feeling. I hope this goes away soon! Going to call the dr in the next day or two if I'm not feeling any better. | F | 56 | 10 days 100mg | 2/20/2016 | 1 | chest Infection | I will never take this antibiotic again. Apart from the Anxiety, sweats, burning throat my worst symptoms were Nausea, vomiting and Diarreah. I changed to another antibiotic after 3 days but had to come off that as well because the Doxy had messed around with my stomach so severely. I am now on anti-sickness tablets as I havent eaten for 9 days. If there is an alternative antibiotic I would never use Doxy again. | F | 45 | 7 days 100mg | 2/18/2016 | 1 | Recurrent sinus infection | I had a sinus infection that came back after the first round of antibiotics. DR then called me in 10 days of doxycycline. The first 2 days I felt awful but I thought it was because of the sickness. 3rd day I was an little better days 4-7 I felt absolutely horrible. Achy all over severe sore throat, congestion, extreme exhaustion to the point of hardly being able to function at all. I stopped after day 7 because I was pretty sure I was still feeling so horrible because of the doxycycline. I've been off it for 2.5 days now and while I can't say I feel perfect I feel so much better than when I was taking it! It was prescribed for 10 days but I could not make it past 7 due to the side effects. Never again! | I took this once I college and don't remember these side effects, but I definitely will never take this drug again! | F | 32 | 7 days 100mg | 2/14/2016 | 1 | Sinus infection | I feel very unwell on these. I have a bad headache with nausea and vomiting. Flank pain and severe muscle weakness. Pastey pale complextion. Extreme tiredness and twitching muscles. I cannot complete the course due to side effects. | F | 41 | 5 days 100 | 2/2/2016 | 5 | Genital infection | A little bit of heartburn when I first began taking it, especially when my stomach was empty. Not too bothersome. | I really didn't have any side effect besides mild heartburn when my stomach was empty. I wrote this review because I was panicking before taking this because of all of the horrible reviews. I followed the directions exactly as stated, which were to take with food and a FULL glass of water and sit up for at least 30 minutes. I had virtually no issues. My skin on my face has been the smoothest it has been in years. Make sure to follow the directions and you should be fine, as long as you're not having an allergic reaction. | F | 7 days 100mg | 2/1/2016 | 2 | Post Op | Vomiting, Nausea, Dizziness, Mild Shortness of Breath and Muscle Cramps in arms and feet. | Very frustrated. I took this medication post operation to combat any complications from bacterial infection. The first two pills on day one caused no problem at all but day two I started vomiting and having stomach pains. I also felt very "off" and dizzy. My throat got scratchy for a little bit (about ten minutes) and then I felt short of breath (for another twenty minutes) and then no symptoms just muscle fatigue in extremities paired with agitation. I am awaiting a call from the Dr to see if this is a mild allergic reaction. | F | 32 | 3 days 100 MG 2X day | 1/28/2016 | 1 | sinus infection | Taking 100mgs twice daily. Extreme headache that is non stop, nausea, confusion, ichy skin, stomach cramps and fatigue. | Would not recommend. Overall made me feel worse. Not worth the side effects. Stopping this medication now and I still have a week left to finish the course. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/27/2016 | 1 | sinus infection | Taking 100mgs twice daily. Extreme headache that is non stop, nausea, confusion, ichy skin, stomach cramps and fatigue. | Would not recommend. Overall made me feel worse. Not worth the side effects. Stopping this medication now and I still have a week left to finish the course. | F | 21 | 3 days | 1/27/2016 | 1 | Pelvic Inflammatory Disease | Extreme headache!!!! | The worst headache I've ever felt in my life. Nausea,vomiting and blurred vision. I thought I was dying. My body felt like when you get the flu. Also makes you have anxiety. I'm never taking this in my life again. | F | 21 | 4 days 100 MG | 1/25/2016 | 1 | Ear infection/Acne | Within 45 minutes of taking my first pill WITH FOOD IN MY STOMACH, I vomitted. Felt nauseous and crappy the rest of the day. | I really didn't think I would have an adverse reaction to this pill. If I did, I thought it might have been a yeast infection but noooo, I can't take this medicine without vomiting. My body just will not allow me to consume this medicine. Going back to good old Amoxicillin. | F | 21 | 1 days 100 MG Cap | 1/10/2016 | 4 | Chest infection | Headache first thing in the morning.

It is a gut destroyer.some people are susceptible to having a reaction from doxy as they may have a sensitive gut. Our bodies serotonin is produced in the gut (feel good hormone). Everything comes from the fur.if the goid bacteria is killed by antibiotics, it leaves us open to neurotransmitter deficiencies such as head pressure, nausea, loss of appetite, anxiety, brain fid and those nasty side efects you're feeling. That's what happened to me.i was bed ridden for 2 month after taking a weeks worth of doxy and i didn't know what was wrong with me. It can take a long time to repair the gut after the damage doxy can cause. I was put on antidepressants for 3 months cause i couldn't function at any rate. I had every symptom possible. Its like someone turned the volume up on all my senses, hearing seemed loud,light sensitivity, smells were bothering me, my whole body went out of whack. A year on and I'm still trying to fix myself. I still have brain fog or disconnection feeling,bur I've come a long way. You need to fix your gut!!get probiotics into you, fix you're diet and exercise. Get the good endorphins in you through exercise. Try to detox your body. Some recover quick, others take a long time to find themselves again but preserve, you'll get there. Stay away from anything that ends with cycline. My neighbour currently took doxy for brochitis and she started getting a burnin | Crappiest antibiotic on the market | F | 38 | 9 days | 12/20/2015 | 3 | Severe sore throat and sinus infect | The first few days had a severe headache. Tried to take with just a full glass of water, but really hurt my stomach. Most of the days I took after I ate a meal. About 7 days in my stomach was not happy and also had diarrhea for a couple days. I have been off it for about 8 days an my abdomen and lower back persistently ache. It's actually worse in a sitting position. I will give it a few more days, but it is worrisome enough I feel like I need to go back in. | I felt like the meds helped me. It cleared up my throat in a couple of days and helped my sinus infection, though now my sinuses seem to sting and my sense of taste is off. The stuff definitely seemed to be a very strong medication. I'm not sure I would take it again - especially if I find out this abdomen thing was likely a side affect. | F | 46 | 10 days 100mg 2X day | 12/18/2015 | 1 | Sinus infection | Have had continuous tension headache and terrible vertigo since my first dose! Side effects persist and worsen as the days go by. I'm miserable! | F | 21 | 6 days 100 MG | 12/18/2015 | 1 | Chest infection | anxiety, heart palpitations, severe flushing at night and early morning hours, suicidal thoughts, panic attacks, foggy brain, didn't feel like I had any emotions but anxiety. Insomnia severe and having no hope | horrible drug! Will NEVER take this again! I have been off it for 8 days and I am still having some of the anxiety and flushing at night. It's awful, I hope these side effects go away! | F | 37 | 8 days 200 mg | 12/6/2015 | 1 | Infected Wound | Horrible drug. Nausea, muscle cramps and joint pain all over especially legs, back, hands/fingers and arms. Absolutely terrible. Tingling, cold/hot sensations. Pounding headaches all day, dizziness, loss of appetite. Did not experience the stomach issues but experienced everything else! | This medication has made me feel terrible and the side effects now have me severely anxious that I have some other illness!! Meanwhile my infected cut is healing slowly but is still sensitive to the touch so who knows if this crappy medecine even worked! | F | 35 | 10 days 100 MG | 12/2/2015 |
