My daughter was prescribed Doryx for mild acne- 150mg a day. At Track Meets she is complaining that she is dizzy (seeing black spots) after races. Now she says she has tingling in her hands and lips. They feel like they are on fire also. I had her stop the meds immediately and am waiting for the dermatologist to call back. If anyone had these symptoms how long does it take for them to go away?? email me: ******

My daughter is 11 year old, and she was put on the medicine for acne. Until today, I really started paying attention to what she was feeling. For the past 5 days, she kept saying she was having extremly painful headache. Now of course I thought they where just regular headaches so I gave her motrine, not realizing she was in pain. Also on top of her headaches, she had bad stomache pain. Well tonight she started "Screaming" she vomited all over the play, and went to the bathroom on her self. She was in so much pain, I thought I was going to have to take her to the ER. This is when I started to research this medicine, and find out all that I did. I am so glad they have sites like this, and I am also glad I came across your information about your daughter. She will not being taking that medication anymore, and her doctor will certainly be hearing from me.
