The weight gain is horrible and the headaches are happening daily...

I was diagnosed with Lyme this summer and was on this drug for 3 weeks. It wasn't so bad for the first week, but my last 2 weeks were a nightmare. I didn't get sleep, had nasty headaches, I felt extremely anxious, etc. BUT, one thing I didn't get was weight gain. I actually lost 14 lbs in the week and half. I was ingesting a lot of calories as well. I drank over 1.5 gallons of water a day while on the drug too. Personally, I felt that the doxy induced 90% of my symptoms - well all of the symptoms except for the tingling in my arms and legs. I cut the drug and felt normal within a week - almost 100%. Once you're done with this drug - it will get better. I constantly thought that it was the lyme inducing all of these wicked symptoms - but I'm confident it was the doxy.

Just make it through your doxy run and you should be good to go =))

Good luck!!!!!!!!

I gained 9 pounds in four weeks of being on doxycycline. I know it has to be attributed to the doxy because I've been the same weight for several years. There's no other explanation for that dramatic of weight gain. I just hope it comes off as easily as it went on!

weight gains or weight loss is a sign of mal-absorption.
