I took Doxycycline Hyclate one night before going to bed. Big mistake. It was still in my throat when I woke up the next morning. I assumed the pill would eventually go down on its own. Boy was I wrong. The pill was stuck in my throat for approximately 4 days. I finally called a local clinic and one of the nurses told me to take some maalox and drink warm water. The maalox helped the pill go down. I also tried goggling with warm salty water. Then two day later, I had a headache so I took a ibprophin and drunk some apple just about an hour later. I started feeling nausea and I had stomach pains for about 15-20 minutes. All of a sudden, I began to vomit apple juice. I took a nap and when I woke up, I ate lunch and I had no problem eating. I no longer felt the heartburn while eating. I didn't even feel the pill. I am so happy that the pill is gone. I guessing it was the acid that's in apple juice. If anyone is looking for advice on how to make it go down, I'm pretty sure you could skip most of the steps I took and just try drinking the apple juice.

I was given Doxycycline on Tuesday after having my wisdom teeth extracted as an infection preventative. I followed the directions carefully as I have always been very sensative to medications and wanted to be careful with this new one. Wednesday evening within minutes of taking the pill I was overcome with nausea. I began to vomit and with in an hour had severe chest/stomach pains just below my rib cage. The following morning I called the prescribing Dr. right away- The Dr. told me to stop taking the Doxycycline. It is now Saturday evening (3 full days later) and the horrible chest/stomach pain has not at all subsided. I have had a hard time functioning in this much pain and am eager for it to end, to say the least. On top of all of this I have also experienced bloating in my stomach and an intense amout of gas. (burping, etc.)
I realize I have obviously had a bad reaction to this medication, some people do and some people don't- it's the case with any drug. My main concern now is WHEN will these side effects end? How could two days on this medication have caused 3 additional days worth of such terrible pain? Should I contact my general physician on Monday, and if so is there even anything that they can do?
I have had drug reactions in the past, typically when one ends a medication one is also able to end the uncomfortable reactions of the medication. This is a nightmare....How long does this stuff stay in a person's system???? Scary thought, isn't it.

This is my 3rd day on these pills. The doctor told me to take two a day for an infection I have on the lid of my left eye. The first day I was ok, but when I took the pill last night I felt nausious, me heart was pounding, and I was scared I would pass out. I took one this morning with a half a bottle of water, and the same symptoms--except I had to run to the bathroom and vomit...and feel like I need to again as I'm writing this! I'd rather keep the bump on my eye than feel like this! All the doctor warned be about was staying out the sun!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad I found this site!!
Today was the first day I noticed any symtoms and I've been taking it for 3 days now. About 30 minutes after taking it, I've been feeling nauseated and dizzy and some abdominal pain. I'm a college student and I was on my way to class this morning when I started feeling these symptoms. Literally 1 minute after being in my class, I had to get up and leave back to my dorm because I felt like I was about to faint and vomit at the same time! I didn't know its better to take it with LOTS of water and I just had a sip before I went to class just to swallow the pill. Anyways, I started to panic because I thought I was having an allergic reaction to this because in the evening when I took it again, i had shortness of breath. I guess this is just an effective remedy with evil side affects.

About 3 days after starting this antibiotic I began experiencing the worst heartburn ever. I considered going to the doctor, because I first thought I was having heart attack symptoms. I think I'll stop taking this and call my physician. The heartburn is so bad that it almost makes me vomit.

OK....So I started takin Doxy 4 days ago for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. The day after I started taking it, I started to get really bad heartburn, and my stomach started to hurt like no other. This is still going on on top of being hungry ALL THE TIME, for the first two hours after I wake up, I am always running to the bathroom becuase I feel like I have to vomit, but nothing ever comes up, I am always tired, and I always feel like I have no energy. I thought maybe I was pregnant but all my tests were coming up negative. I started getting really scared so I started to do research...Knowing that I am not the only one who is going through these effects, I know that I am not pregnant. If it gets any worse, I am definately going back to the doctor....

I am taking this medicine for adult acne. I have been on it for over a week now. I take 100mg twice a day, it once in the morning and once in the evening. In the morning it has me running to the bathroom a million times because I feel as though I'm gonna vomit! I feel nauseus and dizzy for pretty much the rest of the day. In the evening however, it makes me so hungry I want to eat everything in sight!! My acne is already improving but the side effects are horrible!! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like crap because of this medicine, I was starting to feel as though my body is going crazy!

I got Doxycycline from my doctor to treat Rosacea. The first time I took it, I got the most awful heartburn, which I could not treat for 2 hours because of a drug inteaction warning. The second time I took it was this morning and I got so sick, I thought I was going to vomit, something I have not done since I was 12 years old. There is more to this drug than meets the eye, regardless of what doctors say. There has to be an alternative drug. Anybody know of any?

I began taking 100 mg x2 per day for ten days for a bacterial infection. I am 48 years old and I have Fibromyalgia and arthritis pain issues as well as other health problems. By day three of taking doxy, my pain issues increased dramatically. My legs burn and the pain the runs from the waist to the heels of my feet are not something that has happened to me before...thus, I surmize it is the doxy. My legs and feet burn and hurt so much that it is difficult to walk and to sleep as even resting them on the mattress keeps me awake at night. I tried taking it with a tbsp. of peanut butter and a small glass of milk and in 15 minutes I vomit. I need to have considerable food in my stomach and yet, I have great stomach pain that comes in waves. This is a very difficult medicine to take!
