Depression is not the word ....if this stuff was biblical, it would be the devil. i have never felt like life didn't matter, i have never felt like i wanted to give up, but over the last few days i have, and i know it is a direct result of doxycycline. I stopped taking yesterday (had for lyme dis). sever headaches, nausea, chest pain, panic attacks, etc.... NO WONDER THIS IS A FREE PRESCRIPT....they get you on your second visit after your doc prescribes zoloft or something for you.

Stick it out and whatever you do, don't give in and take some antidepressants -- believe it or not, they are almost worse than the Doxycycline! It took me over half a year to withdraw from antidepressants and it was HELL. I have been off the Doxycycline for 8 days now and have experienced everything you are and things DO get better. Slowly and gradually and at times things dip but I am trying to keep hoping that I will completely recover from the "devil drug" yet. Stick it out and try to keep hoping. I know it's hard but things do start improving bit by bit. Just keep going moment by moment.

Thank you I thought I needed psychological help. All these postings helped me more than anything. Doctors don't agree it causes depression, but what do they know THEY DO NOT TAKE THE PILLS...WE DO. GOD BLESS EVERYONE...TODAY I COMPLETED 10 DAYS AND HOPE TO GO BACK TO MY NORMAL POSITITVE, FUNNY AND OPTIMISTIC PERSON THAT I AM

Thank you...I believed I needed psychological help due to severe depression. This site helped me more than anything. Doctors do not agree that this prescription causes depression, but what do they know they do not take the pills. Today, I completed my ten days and I am off...I am hoping to be back to my normal positive, optimistic and funny self. God Bless Everyone and Happy 4 th of July

I have been taking Doxycycline (after having an operation to treat a hemmorage due to miscarraige) and it has given me a really horrible taste in my mouth that I can't get rid of. It has also caused a yucky coating to appear on my teeth. Anyone have heartburn issues? I managed to burn my throat after one of the capsules got stuck, the stuff is like acid! I can't wait until I can stop taking these as they have been horrible but this is better than getting an infection so please make sure you all take the full course or see your doc.

I agree 100%. I've never had thoughts like this, they were simply the worst. I just wanted to be put out of my misery. If not for my wife I don't know what I may have done. It was truly terrifying. Thankfully those types of thoughts/images left a few days ago, but I'm still left with a list of effects, which confuses me since this should be out of my system by now. I hope everybody recovers.
