It's been 2 weeks now since I stopped taking this drug. All I can say is I have really good days and REALLY bad days. I have more bad than good.
When I mean bad, I mean I have days like I had when I First started taking this drug. I can't get out of bed hardly, my joints hurt so bad that I would just rather not move. My feet are still swollen and on the bad days they get so bad that I can't even wear my crocs., sandles, or slippers without design impressions being left on them. My hands hurt so bad that I just want to cry. My emotions are all over the map. My back hurts even worse than it has and thats not a good thing. I can't concentrate and I REALLY have to pay attention and write everything down so I don't forget, esp at work. My walking is getting harder and harder to do. I use my cane on a regular basis now. I had another EMG done because she my dr. didn't like the results of the last one... they came up with nothing. I pee like a racehorse. I always have to go and I don't have a kidney or bladder infection. (though this is why I was on it in the first place~ that has since cleared up). I can't sleep anymore. So I went from always tired to not tired.
I agree about the driving being scary. I almost lost control the other day because I lost my grip on the steering wheel. I got turned around and went the 2 blocks BACK to the house. This drug is soo Dangerous. It needs to be banned and taken off the market for good.
My hubby and I are looking for a lawyer now to see if they can do anything. I contacted the one lawyer on here that someone suggested and I never heard anything back. So I would assume that means they don't have the right to practice in Michigan~ that or they just blew me off.
My feet hurt so bad most of the time, I now use those scooters in the store(these are ENORMOUS grocery stores almost like a Super Wal-Mart) anyway I have little other choice.
Anyone elses hands and feet ice cold. Mine feel like they been to the artic circle without me and it was in the 90s.so now that its in the 40s its worse because now Im completely frozen.
Is anyone else having problems thinking straight>?Im having issues thinking straight, coming up with the right words etc. I even forget what Im talking about in the middle of a sentence.
I think it would be a good idea if we did do updates.
Good Luck to everyone! I hope that you all feel better.

I have taken 3 doses of an 8 dose course of doxy for a sinus infection. in the past i've been prescribed amoxicillin and had a little bit of dizziness on the first day but nothing severe. So when I took my first dose of doxy and felt a bit dizzy and woozy I figured it was nothing out of the ordinary. Day 2 however this got much worse with nausea and sweats and I spent most of last night trying not to throw up. This morning I woke up with no nausea and was thinking, today will be fine, the worst part is over. I wasn't due to take another dose until 6pm but at around 3pm I ate a bagel and before I had even finished it my stomach was turning over and over. That was 3 hours ago. My head is spinning, my stomach is still upset and I'm having cramps now. I've also started needing to pee like a racehorse. Suffice to say, there is no freakin way I'm taking another one of those things. I'm baffled as to why my doctor even prescribed it in the first place. I'm working on my masters right now and have an assignment due in 4 days so i have no choice but to stop the course and hope my sinus infections goes away itself. There are studies to suggest this drug is 3 times more likely to cause stomach upset than other antibiotics. Why do doctors not seem aware of this?
