Doxycycline Hyclate and dox

I recently had gum surgery and was prescribed dox. I am only taking 100 mg/day, but I've had extreme lethargy, headaches, itching, swollen lips, nausea and bouts of confusion and dizziness. I feel very sad on this medication and I'm usually a very happy person. I'm stopping the meds today, so hopefully I will be back to my normal self within the next week. I wish I had researched the drug sooner so that I could have stopped taking it earlier...I thought my reactions were due to the pain meds, but I was mistaken!!!

I started taking Dox. because I lost my baby.. and my doc. prescribed it to me so i wouldn't get an infection. Im only supposed to take it for ten days.. its day seven and I have this burning sensation that is on my hands.. My hands are all red where its burning me.. The odd thing is it started with my knuckles.. and now it has spread. The weird part is that Its only on the tops of my hands..
I talked to my Pharmasist.. and he said that it was a rare side effect..
I have never heard of an ANTIBODIC that would make your hands burn..
I stopped taking it because my hands are litterally on fire..
If anyone else has gone through this please tell me what you have done to get them to stop burning..
I tried Aloe.. and it worked for ten minutes.. cold water makes it worse along with hot water.. putting pressure helps for a few seconds.. the only releif that I have found is blowing cool air on them..

i took my first dox tablet, 50mg. It is to treat adult acne. i am taking it because i am trying to get pregnant and this pill apparantly does not prevent that. I don't want to get a yeast infection from it because it is an antibiotics. The doctor told me that i wouldn't because it is a low dose. I am still scared. Reading all of these negative side effects that people have experienced makes me very concerned. How do we find out how safe something really is?

I have been on Doxy since the 29th for possible pneumonia/sinus infection-deep cough,swollen nodes sick for almost three weeks.
I am pretty healthy at 39 but got this whopper that wouldn't let go.
The doc prescribed this Dox 100mg,along with Prednisone. My cough is clearing up,feel better overall, but have had very vivid, chaotic, and scattered dreams.
A little GERD (I have Barretts Esophagous so wouldn't feel too much hburn) today, but the main issue was the pill, so strong I projectile vommitted three times yesterday, have had major runs, and dry skin.
It works best for me after food and loads of water/vitamin water, and staying very hydrated. I drink a lemon ginger tea to soothe my stomach.
Other than that I am in Arizona and haven't had any sun-sensitivity issues.
I have had a headache as well for two days, but the vomitting could have brought that on, I almost popped a gasket it was so sudden.
Well, it seems this one is a doozy, get all of the facts on it-especially the NO DAIRY when taking it...
Hope all readers feel better!

I think many of the side effects mentioned here are a result of yeast overgrowth- which is a side effect of most antbiotics since they kill the natural flora in your intestines. I had to deal with this for years with all kinds of bad symptoms until I hit the right web site -- started taking probiotics and yeast killers -- my health improved almost overnight.
Am on Dox. now because a dermitologist got me infected with some kind of bad bacteria. Have had some of the head symptoms described but not all the other stuff because I have been taking probiotics and yeast killers the same time. there is plenty of info on the web re this. IF YOU REALLLY WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH YOU SHOULD TRY INTESTINAL CLEANSING-- MADE ME FEEL 20 YEARS YOUNGER. NOT FOR THE WEAK- WILLED PERSON -- YOU MUST WANT TO FEEL BETTER BAD ENOUGH TO GO THRU IT BUT I KNOW IT WORKS LOOK UP ARISEANDSHINE.COM

am taking 100 dox 2x daily for 2 weeks after being bitten by a tick. wasn't concerned when they told me to start this medicine, didn't expect much in the way of side effects. i will also add that take thyroid meds and they were adjusted downward 3 weeks ago.

i am also being menopause. The first things i noticed were the hot and cold sweats. bone chilling deep inside you cold. menpause? Then the ringing in the ears. Waking up hungry in the middle of the night after the anorexic effect of the medicine wore off. blurred vision ans swollen face. not enough to tell the doctor, but around my eyes especially.

A couple of nights panic attacks and sleeping but not really knowing it. Next came the waking up dizzy with the bad headaches and or having neausa and stomache aches after taking it.

irritability on occasions as well as chest pains. was surprised at my low level of tolerance to noise. i'm stopping this today even though have just one day left.

Well, I was prescribed Cipro, but the pharmacy was out; so the nice man suggested I try Doxycycline instead. Since it was a generic drug it costs less than Cipro, so I was happy to try it. I have taked Cipro often for urinary infections, but the Dox cleared it up just as well and at a savings. The side effect I had was; I got to keep more of my money.

I have been on Dox for 2 weeks for cystic acne, and for the past 4 days I have experienced a bad case of 'heartburn'. But only when I swallow. A major pain right at the top of my stomach. No headaches though. That seems to be a popular one. I take it at night because otherwise I feel so sick in the morning that I have to go back to bed. I wonder, is this worth it?

After taking Dox for 2 weeks I noticed the seemingly common tingling in the hands but only for 2 days until I was done with the meds. The worst thing though is I have a ringing in my ears even though I stopped taking Dox a couple weeks ago. Anybody else?
