Doxycycline Hyclate and uti

I want to know if anyone has experienced severe joint pain while on Doxy. I was prescribed this med on a Monday. I (like an idiot) doubled up on my first dose Monday evening because I know you can do that with other antibiotics to jump start the process. What can I say? I don't like being sick. Well....Tuesday morning, I took my 2nd dose and went to work. Very soon after taking the second dose, I broke out into a very itchy rash all over my back that soon spread to other parts of my body. I called my doctor and was immediately taken off the Doxy and prescribed Augmentin. Later that night, I began aching all over. I woke up in severe pain throughout all of my joints, and was in a terrible mood.....obviously. As the day progressed, the pain continued, but seemed to be moving randomly about my joints. My ankles would hurt for a while, then my arms, the my shoulders, etc. That night, I took a Benadryl (still itching from the rash a little), some ibuprofen, and went to bed. I woke up feeling a lot better. A lot less pain in most of my joints. It was a good day. However, today, Friday, I am still in some pretty bad pain in my hands. Anyone else have a similar experience??????

So glad to find this board. Thank you all for writing in. I am only on my second pill after starting last night. I have followed all the directions, and didn't lie down for a few hours after my first dose. Yet I have horrible esophagus pain. Also had insomnia last night- with a rushing panic like feeling every time I started to dose off- and wound up finally getting to sleep at 5 am and waking up 2 hours later. I took my second pill this morning, and a couple of hours later the esophagus pain got worse. My skin also feels like it's burning (I'm indoors), my chest hurts some when I breathe, and I'm shaky with sweaty palms. This is crazy! I'm taking it for a UTI that felt like it was turning into a kidney infection. I am allergic to almost every antibiotic out there, so I don't know what to do next. I'll keep taking this for now and hope it doesn't kill me.

i have been taking doxy for a uti i took 100mg a total of 4 times i stopped taking it because i have been feeling horrible my stomach is tied in a knot i am exhausted my throat feels like something is constantly stuck in it i have been vomiting sweaty palms loss of appetite dizziness and it taste like crap to smoke a cigarette anyone else experiencing these side effects?

I was recently prescribed this drug for mild acne, no advice was given to me about the possible side effects, or how best to take it (sitting up with plenty water) - it has given me severe chest pain, I am unable to swallow, I have cramps, and my last pill was 5 days ago! I only took it for a week. I am so shocked that they dish this out with such little care, yet it such a powerful drug, used for MALARIA!!! Will I ever feel normal and be able to eat properly again?
