I have been having Doxy since last June (about 6 mo. ago) and still taking it. Its effects on my acne problem has just gotten apparent about one month ago. (Yep. For 5 months, I kept my faith and it is beginning to pay off.) I was determined to take the stuff as long as I need to. However, I just noticed that my stomach is bloating and I got tired very easily. I could play several games of rigorous racquetball before but no longer. My breathing has gotten harder and felt like something was obstructing my breathe just below the rib cage (in the middle). I will see my derm to see if there is any long term problem with this side effect. He once told me I have to take this drug at least 2 months after all the major "bums" have disappeared. I hope that is within the next few weeks.

Hey there

I just finished a course or doxycycline hyclate 100mg for three months (one a day)

since i complteed the course, my acne had reappeared (it worked wonders when i was using it) and i have now noticed that i was depressed for the last month since i stopped using and also, ive had trouble swallowing. Since last two weeks, ive had this tighness in my chest which i feel is due to my liver swollen. it also pains in the evenings. Also, im not urinating as much as usual which is also listed as a side effect.

I dont have proper medical facilities as i am out of the US currently. COuld you please share your notes with me once you visit your derm and tell him your side effects?? thanks a lot!! I just need to know if this is natural side effeetc and if they will go away (be back to normal) at their own ease???

Thanks and regards!!

You have all these symptoms AFTER you finished the medication?

I have been taking this antibiotic for about three months. I am getting very tired all the time and can easily sleep for several hours in an afternoon.
I have to watch I only take it on a full stomach as I am very sick. It does help with the acne though.
