Doxycycline Hyclate and experiences

I took tetracycline for 10 days (it had been prescribed for 30 days for emergency oral surgery...I had cracked a molar and it had to be extracted)

On the tenth day I was ready to die from the progressive side effects that were completetly intolerable.....I thought I was going to die and the fear was so unreal that I thought I was possessed by the devil or some evil force that was going to kill me and my family....it was horrific!!

Taking an anti-anxiety med Ativan helped but I also made the decision to stop taking the anti-biotic tetracycline...within 24 hours I felt fine....the racing thoughts, the heat, the chest pains and blinding fear were suddenly gone....I know now that this drug is not good for me and have asked the doctor for another antibiotic.....

If anyone experiences these symptoms stop taking this drug immediately....I took it for ten days and I wished I would have stopped sooner....

I especially don't recommend Tetracyline or any of its similarly-based antibiotics for anyone who suffers from depression or anxiety....

I hope my experience can help others understand the adverse side effects of this drug.

I was prescribed DOXY for bronchitis. I'm on day 3 of the meds, 2x100mg per day. Within hours of taking a pill, the left side of my torso experiences sharp pains, I get a cold feeling all over and begin to sweat. I have felt somewhat disconnected and have a hard time concentrating on anything for a long period of time. I feel tired and dizzy a lot of the time. I'm really concerned about the pains in my left side, lower ribcage. I will contact my physician tomorrow if this continues.
