I have been taking Doxcycline for my acne for less than a week and today, an hour after swallowing the pill with a sip of water and no food in my stomach I felt naseauted and dizzy to the point where i could not stand up. Five minutes later I vomitted and had to call in sick. I am wondering if it is worth it. I don't want to fear taking this pill everyday, but want to get rid of my acne. The side effects should be written on the side of the prescription, but they are not. I am skeptical about this drug.

I have been taking this anti-biotic for a six days. It is not making me dizzy, but it is making my ears ring terribly. I was supposed to take it for seven days, but ended up throwing the last two capsules away. I figure six days was enough, I couldn't handle the ringing ears any more.

Have a severe rash on hands,neck, lips and chin area.
The ringing in the ears is severe also. So is this all side effects
