I too, have experienced side effects with this medication. I thought I was loosing my mind, but after reading about shared experiences, I now know that I am sane!! (sort of). I've been taking it for a severe lung infection, for 7 days...I am on my last day. I've been an exhausted, skin-tingling, sweaty, hot, moody verging on nasty, insufferable human being. My doc. only told me about staying out of the sun and that it could cause diarhea. So, I stayed out of the sun and took pro-biotic for my stomach. But, it still has wreaked havoc on my body. The pro-biotic puts back all of the good bacteria in your digestive tract that the doxy kills. And, today found out that it may take a few months to regain a healthy tract and that I must continue to take the pro-biotic to insure the "regrowth of a healthy colony"!!
