It was clearing up but wanted to flush the rest of it out. After one dose my throat closed up. I immediatelY stopped taking it and had to go to the emergency room. Day 3 I had Steven Jonson symptoms and had to be put on an aggressive dose of prednisone. Still have painful watery diarrhea and can't really eat. | F | 38 | 1 days 100 2X day | 11/4/2022 | 4 | acne | still taking | 33 | 1X day | 10/13/2022 | 1 | Hidranenitis Suppurativa | Trouble swallowing, Intense Dry mouth/Throat, Indigestion/Acid reflux problems, lost weight quickly because I couldn't eat, Panic/Anxiety Attacks (Never had before in my life, Chest Tightening, Heart Palpitations | I have never experienced a medication that had given me so many problems. I was on it for 3 months and the side effects started happening within the first week. I finished the whole 3 months of the medication because I wanted it to help my problem. Even after I finished the medication the side effects lasted 6 months later. I feel like I am not completely back to normal, but so much better then before. I've never dealt with so many health problems after taking this medication which made it the hardest year of my life. I will never take this medication again. I would rather deal with my HS disease pain than deal with the side effects of this medication. | F | 37 | 3 months 1X day | 8/14/2022 | 1 | Skin infection | Extreme joint pain, inflammation, muscle pain, skin rash on arms and face, diarrhea, depression, lethargy | F | 15 days 100 MG 2X day | 7/19/2022 | 1 | Sinus Infection | Anxiety, some depression/poor mood, mild diarrhea | Took for 5 days Stopped. Could not stand the increased anxiety and poor mood this drug caused. I already have anxiety, and this made it much worse. Good news is I am 2 days off, and the anxiety is returning to my norm. I will say it cured the sinus infection within 3 days. | M | 61 | 5 days 100mg 2X day | 6/24/2022 | 1 | UTI | Weakness in the legs, panic and anxiety attacks | NEVER TAKE THIS. Avoid at all costs. The hell started after I stopped taking it. Doxy causes tremors after you finish taking it. My daughter has done extensive research on it and my doctor confirmed the tremors can last from 4 months to 18 months. Since I stopped taking it, my daughter has had to help me around, almost on a constant basis because I don't know when a tremor will hit, sometimes so bad I have had to be pushed in a roller chair from room to room. I cannot find my bottle that has the exact dosage, but I would never take even 1 mg of this stuff ever again. | F | 80 | 7 days 50mg 2X day | 4/14/2022 | 1 | Thumb infection, mild cellulitis | Horrible, stomach pain, dizziness, blurred vision, chest tightness.
