I have taken an oral form of Doxycycline daily for at least a year. Before, I thought such symptoms were relevant to a fluctuation of bodily chemicals during pubescent growth. I am now sure otherwise. During the time between when I was prescribed and today, I would never have known that these things were side effects of an antibiotic. I'd wake up every morning, take a shower, and feel like I'd vomit if I kept standing. I laid down on my bed and realized I felt way too hot. I'd take off my shirt and lay down in front of my floor fan.......Now, every morning after I take a shower, I stand out in my back patio, 45 degrees, in only my boxers--completely comfortable for as long as whenever. I have terrible sleep. I stay up at night thinking too much about almost nothing. Overwhelming self-conscious thoughts. Overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like I have to do simple things manually, instead such movements occurring normally, like auto-pilot. Walking. A majority of the time I walk, its like my first steps: bring left knee forward, put left heel down, bring right knee forward..... Blinking. Concentration. Anxiety, paranoia, you name it-- I developed a smoking habit that numbed out all the stress. I am not quite sure if I was addicted other the occasional crave of a cigarette, but... Look, every now and then, because my doxycycline came in the mail, I would have a week or two without it. I think, antibiotic, right? Doesn't matter right? just like a Vitamin? just take it and whooosh its all good, it does what it does, helps my acne whatever-- during those periods without it, I felt distinguishibly happy and calm and I didn't even crave cigarettes. As of now, I realize that those were not loony mood swings, and, a multitude of people suffer and have suffered from doxycycline.
