Very odd - I seem to have chronic bacterial prostatitis (at 25 years old and in very good shape, it's embarassing). I tried Cipro, but it screwed up my muscles (I work out alot) and then was prescribed Doxy. Doxy seemed to make my symptoms better, but it didn't eradicate the infection - I've been on it almost non-stop for two months. Side effects WERE minimal - irritated esophagus/throat, some bloating and gas. THEN - just the other night, after counting 30 minutes, I went to bed. Soon after I felt this chest pain, relatively sharp, somewhat burning. My mouth on the inside started to tingle even - I was scared as all hell that it was my heart, but this really seemed like the drug. Woke up 6 hours later to go to university (basically seven hours after the pill was taken), and after eating a little food, had the same pains again, though not as extreme. I've stopped the drug now and am scared to go back to it. Anyone have a similar issue?

I think my situation is similar to yours. My doctor said I have prostate and backterial Infection (UTI).

I had my second tablet today and I felt sharp pain couple of times right on my heart and pain comes and goes in my hand, head. Intially I was on Cipro and dropped it as I had a lot of burning sensation through out my left side. I had to go to ER to make sure its not heart attack. Doxy seems to cure me. I have 18 more tablets to finish. Feel like stopping it before.

So finally how it it go for you? How long were you feeling side effects after stopping?
