Man oh man. This is the worst experience of my life to this date. I'm 20 years old. An awesome person in my own opinion, but really just fell off the cliff. I just wrote an entire page of how I have been feeling lately to my mother and father with no intentions of giving it to them. Its basically explaining that if I do not wake up tomorrow that its because of this drug (doxy). It has made me so depressed that I cannot bare it any longer and I refuse to take any more of this. I can handle depression but actually sitting here and physically writing a letter is not something I would every do healthy. I feel exhausted and I don't want to do anything. my stomach is fine but I have gotten sores on my tongue and a blister. I thought I may had picked up an STD from the only girl I have ever been with for my first time about 2 1/2 months ago but everything came back negative after I had already been taking the drug for 5 days. Now I have no clue whats wrong with me and this drug isn't curing my symptoms, its only adding on and making me feel terrible. I do not fear of doing anything to myself but I cant get over the fact that Im going to spontaneously pass in my sleep or something messed up. In fact writing this entire thing is completely unlike me. Depression is a powerful thing. I will cause no harm to myself, but I think that anyone less educated about depression would. I really feel like if I didn't know everything was normal I would be ready for something to end my life. So I hope other people who are as severely depressed as I am will read this an know that its not the end and you just have to sort everything out.

When I was on doxy,= and until it was completely out of my system (about 4 weeks later), I also had a deep fear of passing in my sleep or that I was going to faint and not wake up. I was also constantly thinking I was going to faint every time I stood up, probably from feeling dizzy. Before taking this drug, I never had thoughts of death and was happy and relatively fearless. The effects of depression caused by doxy are incredibly strong, so it's good you were aware and pulled through.

My boyfriend is currently hospitalized for severe depression and anxiety, and he has been on Doxy for well over five years. Normally, he was usually a very upbeat, but he has always (for as long as I have known him) had very intense, mood-altering swings. I can't help but wonder if this could be a compounded effect of years and years on doxy. Thanks for the insight! If you have any other websites, or information, I would really appreciate it.

Please do me a favor and post some of your resources, as my boyfriend is currently hospitalized for severe depression and suicidal tendencies, and oddly enough, he has been taking Doxy now for app. 5 years. Thanks for your help!
