I started taking doxycycline hyclate 100mg twice daily for 10 days for a respiratory infection. After about 7 days I started noticing tingling in my hands and feet and feeling like I was being misted with water on my arms. The tingling became worse and is now very painful in my hands but more so in my toes. It is especially worse at night when your trying to go to sleep. It feels like the nerves in my hands and feet are raw and going crazy. Nothing relieves the pain. I took my last pill this morning and will never take this medication again.

I understand what you are going through. I am now and currently have been suffering from intracranial pressure, rapid heart rate and burning skin where if I wash my hands in cold water it feels like boiling water. I have had severe tingling/burning sensations in my nerves in my arms. A lot of my symptoms started during the end of my treatment and new symptoms have been appearing ever since. I now have little red dots of blood under my skin from head to toe. These are all symptoms I found from taking Omega 3 with Doxycycline. I didn't realize what a devistating complication it would be. Sorry to hear that you are suffering.

Hello, I took this medication one year ago, and neuralgia ( never damage) developed about 1 - 2 weeks after I stopped the medication. This is the only symptom that started after I stopped the mediation. However, it (and the joint pain) took about 6 - 8 weeks to resolve. All other symptoms took 2-3 weeks. I hope you are feeling better soon.
