An Urgent Care doctor perscribed this to my 16 year old son. We do trust our doctors, but apparently this is NOT to be given to minors. After ONLY the 2 pill, my son could not hardly speak, his jaw was so so crooked, I thought he was having a stroke! He was so petrified and it truly was the most horrble thing we have ever gone through. We rushed him to ER and the doctor could not beleive that the perscribed this to a 16 year old, and that Rite Aid filled this prescription! Never would I recommend this. The ER doctor said as soon as it was out of my sons system he would be okay, and recommended Benadryl. After the first dose of Benadryl, he was okay and this drug was out of his system in about 2 days. Another terrible side effect was his face would not stop twitching. AWEFUL.

My 16 year old son has been taking Doxycycline for Acne. I noticed he has been more angry and verbally aggressive. Has any one else seen this as a side effect or should I be looking for some other cause? Since he stopped taking it, he has been much more reasonable.

Has anyone ever heard of this drug causing tremors or seizures?
-- By b4uknow2go | Reply | Private Message meMy 16 year old had a seizure out of the blue and we're wondering if the prescribed "use it when you break out" use of this drug may have contributed.
Any input is welcome and appreciated
