started this 7 days ago for a prostate infection... I thought i've been going crazy this week until i saw this post..im having a horrible reaction to this stuff..although it does seem to help my prostate...it leaves the rest of me in bad shape. First off ive been getting lightheaded like every other day to the point as i think im have a panic attack but heart isn't racing...I've gotten diarrhea 3-5 times a day i go now...i had a bagel the other day for breakfast..it was the hardest thing to eat as i felt sick to my stomach and knew i had to eat something so forced it in..today i had a banana and some grapes and 15 minutes later was throwing it all up. I just called my doctor and asked for a change in antibiotics as this thing has lead me to believe there was something wrong with me although my doctor seems to think these side effects don't generally happen...i come here and see they happen EXACTLY how i have been feeling and just hope this doesn't last much longer in my system!

I've been taking doxy for 4 weeks now for Rocky Mt. Spotted Fever. I've developed several symptoms that I thought were from the RMSF ... but now believe that its from the doxy. Just how long does it take for the nausea, dizziness, out of body feeling, weekness of legs, body aches, etc to clear up after you stop taking the doxy???? Thanks!

I've been off it for two weeks and still have shortness of breath, anxiety and fatigue. I only took it for 4-5 days.

I've been taking lot of vitamins, in particular magnesium/calcium, B complex, C and multi vitamin. Eating yogurt to reintroduce healthy bacteria in my stomach. Once the first week was over (Nyquil and Benadryl was the only way I could sleep) I started drinking tea. I've never really consumed hot teas, but I have a "tension tamer" and a "Sleepy Time" tea that both seem to help mellow me out. Lots of sleep too.

It's basically wrecked the last two weeks for me, and now into my third. I'm much better today, but the fatigue is still here and the shortness of breath (although not nearly as bad.) I'm really hoping I can shake it within the week. Keep positive, it's nasty stuff indeed.
