I'm at the end of a 10-day cycle of doxycycline (100mg 2xday). Worst side effects: insomnia and restless leg syndrome. I think I'm averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night. Stomach pain, occasional cramps, severe loss of appetite. I've also experienced some of the stranger side effects others have mentioned: mood swings, depression, suicidal thoughts, feeling like I'm in a dream, mental problems (after I write something I realize I've spelled half the words wrong). Next time my doctor mentions this drug, I'm going to say no way and see if I can get a sulfate based antibiotic or maybe good old amoxicillin.

hey Mr. JeepGuy, do you still have all those after-effects of doxycycline?
because i have been off of it for 9 days now and i have this terrible feeling of being disconnected from reality?
did you find any cure to this? just wanted to know if time will heal this or is it a permanent damage?
