I was prescribed this medicine after having a cold/flu like symptom.Just to show you how powerful this medicine is all I took was my first dose (2 a day) and for the next 7days I have never been the same.I had to go to the ER 3 times, I vomited several times and passed out on one occasion, my blood pressure dropped, was given IV, could not sleep for several days thought I was going insane, did not feel safe by myself, sudden weakness, constant cold feet, diarrhea.Blood work showed nothing but I was given anti-anxiety medication to calm me down and make me sleep.Please take my advise NEVER EVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION IT SHOULD BE BANNED a good doctor should not prescribe this medicine

Wow - I cannot believe what i am reading. I am taking Periostat (2 pills daily each containing 23.08mg Doxycycline hyclate equivalent to 20mg doxycycline) for my teeth and have noticed that at the same time, my adult acne cleared also. However I have felt the following: sudden weakness, light-headedness, nausea, indegestion, shaky hands, stomach cramps, pains in my lower leg, numbness in my right arm from shoulder to hand, itchy eyes, slight pressure behind my eye and even a severe itchy bottom yesterday. Also, I have recently felt like there is something inside my vagina especially when I sit down but I think this couldn't possibly be related could it? There are probably more things but not all at the same time. This has been over a period of three months and I thought I was being a hypochondriac. Could the pills really cause all this?
