Doxycycline Hyclate and vomiting

i received this medicine for a bacteria infection the first time i took it i threw it up a 1/2 after taking this, i took it an hour before a meal, i feel dizzy, blurred vision bad stomach pains and bowel movements. i called my doctor about the vomiting and she told me to take crackers with it, well i only take 1 a day now *not what i was told to do* and i still feel awful i am going to stop taking this drug its awful

This drug seriously needs to be pulled! its not worth ending a relationship over, i almost well was single because of it...gave me severe mood swings, depressed, made be feel not only sick but i couldnt eat anything, felt like someone was stomping on my chest, its all bull, and no one should even take this...pretty sad that every website i have been to about this drug, just says SYMPTOMS: Nausea, Headache, Dizziness, and Vomiting.

ADA needs to pull it because it does NOT do that job its supposed to. tha mood swings started off very mellow, then after 3-4 days of taking it, its coming to my attention it IS NOT me.....I was getting severely depressed when got into a fight wit my girlfriend. and i almost jumped out fo tha car at 70MPH because of this. Regardless of wut anyone says i am not right in tha head and wut not, i am so...just these so called Antibiotics messed wit my head. i erge everyone to boycott this use of this so called drug DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE 100MG Caplets. If you wanna continue to be screwed wit, i then suggest you to stay on them for some tha symptoms are better for over half they are bad. My opinion....they are like a Anti-Depressant. If you take them and you are NOT depressed, moody, or have some kind of prob and when you start taking them you do have those probs, but if you do have those probs then you wont have tha bad probs is psychology and kinda hard to explain on wut i mean gonna have to figure it all out for your selfs. Because right now still coming clean from theese, i stopped taking them 2 days ago and still in my system a bit. so yeah i hope didn't bug anyone

I was prescribed Doxycycline by the Student Health Center at my college for alleged Bronchitis. I've been taking 100mg twice daily, and I definitely noticed the intense nausea immediately. I've always had a strong stomach, so I was a bit surprised by how I reacted to it. Luckily no vomiting. But within 2 days, I noticed that my vaginal area was incredibly irritated, itchy, and red. I thought it was just random irritation, but it has persisted for three days, and I finally realized it wasn't a temporary thing. I've never had a yeast infection before, so I spent an afternoon researching them, and was terrified that it was a symptom of an STD (even though I'm well educated on the subject).

In my research, I somehow stumbled upon the name of this drug, and immediately searched for further side effects (since my doctor only told me to take water and food with it, avoid sunlight, and not to lie down within 1/2 an hour of taking it). What do you know, but yay yeast infections.

Basically, I'm furious with my practitioner for not warning me about all of the things I've read on this site. I've stopped taking the medicine and have no problem with dealing with a cough if it means the yeast infection goes away. I'm never taking this drug again.

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 have been taking Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg twice a day for over two years now. It was a rough road in the beginning. If I don't take it with a good amount of food, I get indigestion, followed by urgent bowel movement, then nausea leading to vomiting. Every time, within half an hour of taking it. If I take it with yogurt or fruit, same thing happens, so I eat more substantial or starchy foods. The difference in my acne is miraculous, so I keep taking it. All my side effects are temporary, no lasting effects. The warning on the label about avoiding sun is there for a reason, I burn so easily now, even while riding in the car on a sunny day, and it feels like tiny droplets of hot oil being spattered on my skin.

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.

Ok so Ive been taking this medicine for about 3 days now. last night was when I noticed my throat burning before bed! Well this morning after my AM dose it wasnt 1 hr after taking it I was running to the bathroom vomiting...as of now I will no longer take it! My stomach burns from time to time and its like Im always sleepy!

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.

I've been on Doxycyclene for 2 weeks now. I was trying to get rid of my acne. I've vomited twice. (The likelihood of this increases when there's very little food in the tum)Before I vomited, I'd feel like I was having a heart attack. A sudden tightness in the chest, breathing became difficult, a depression that felt like the end of the world. All eventually leading up to vomiting. My acne hasn't witnessed much improvement either. Either it doesn't suit me or I haven't been taking it properly.

Geeezz, i dident realize such a WEak drug could do such thing, somone email me back if they agree, i have been taking doxycyline for a while now and they only side offects i have had is mild skin iching , here and there, and thats from the Generic brands, get the DOXYCYLINE brand (Time release capsules), all good, this drug is not a head drug... nausia vomiting as if , i have taken nearly every illegal drug and lots of legal drugs and im telling all you people doxycyline is not a drug that will do all those horible things that your saying, wake up

I forgot to take doxy with food within 15 minutes of taking it i was dizzy and began vomiting it last all day and into that night.

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.

It has been two months since my ten day prescription of doxy was finished and I just came home from the er ( for the seventh time) having to be given morphine for the pain. I have never felt this bad in my life. It was prescribed for bronchitis. I am still vomiting and unable to eat. I have lost over twenty pounds in this time. I have lost my job and unable to take care of my kids. I have to go to the doctor every seven days for complete lab tests to make sure it has not started effecting my liver. After a internet search, I found out this drug should not have past to the public, and there are lawsuits out from liver failure to death. NEVER take this drug, my family and I are praying that I recover.

severe chest pain, cold sweat, nausea, vomiting, going on for hours! Went to hospital emergency twice before I realized I was reacting to the doxy (for Lyme). Never really got rid of the Lyme but with the doxy I literally thought I was dying - and I am not a pain-freak. Have a pretty high threshhold but was unable to walk or use the phone to call 911 when I was alone with the attacks. (Yes, it took me a couple of times to realize I was having a reaction, not a heart attack).

BTW, I have looked doxy up online as an antibiotic and these kinds of side effects are typically not even alluded to much less discussed. Shameful!

There are many side effects to Doxycycline. I took it for a bug bite I got (I tested negative for West Nile, Lyme, and every other blood born disease from a tick...the doctor still doesn't know what bit me...thinking it was a house centipede based on my research and seeing a couple dozen of them in my garage this summer)...200mg for 2 weeks.

For me, it was the dizziness, headaches, chest pain on and off after taking it, and the itching that would move all over in spots. Doxy is not the best antibiotic for acne though...you should take either Tetracycline or go with topical stuff (Differin or something similar)...the problem with taking Tetra or Doxy is that once you're off of it, the acne comes back even worse than it was before, then by taking it again, the stuff doesn't work. Plus, taking Doxy for several months or years will reduce it's effect and you will build up an immunity to it...any cycline has the same side effects, but I never had the nausea/diaharrea/vomiting that most people.

But please, read the leaflet and talk to the pharmacist/doctor before taking this stuff. The big side effects are the nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. If you have to take it with food, please do, but the Doxy will not work as well (absorb through the body) when taking simultaneously with food. Be careful taking this stuff...and quit taking it if the reaction is that bad because there are other medicines that won't do this stuff.

Nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, acid stomach, dry mouth, dry throat, tight breathing.

I'm taking 200 mg doxycycline, twice a day. I'm 6 weeks into a 9 week regimen for suspected but unconfirmed lyme disease (no memory of tick bite and no positive tests), and in conjunction with permanent Ceftin 500 mg twice daily as a prophylactic against strep which triggered an apparent and ongoing Rheumatic Fever. (I think my doctor is more confused than I am.)

I've gotten nausea and acid stomach, but both of these are lessened if I drink a large glass of water with the doxycycline. 200 mg can be hard to keep down.

I vomited once but only after taking it with other medicines which my doctor assured me wouldn't interfere. So I spaced them apart by 2 hours and started eating some food prior to the doxycycline, and the result was no more nausea or vomiting, and a much easier time.

Headache & dizziness are reduced when I take the doxycycline with food, and then it seems not to hit me as fast or as hard, and so I tolerate it much better.

At first I thought the doxycylline was helping relieve some kind of bronchial infection, but it was actually just drying out my mucus membranes. Now I wake up early with dry mouth, dry throat, and even my lungs get dry which is causing mild difficulty breathing. The bronchitis I thought it was helping was actually not an infection but an autoimmune symptom of the Rheumatic Fever, and it wasn't really helping with that, it just made it drier. Now instead of coughing up fluid, I get this unproductive dry pain when I cough, and my cough sometimes tastes like blood. I feel the dry pain in my lungs all the time now. I'd rather have the fluid.

3 weeks left on this regimen, which seems like an eternity, but I'll try to stay the course since I want to rule out lyme disease. All these high-dose powerful antibiotics and doctors don't even know what I have. They don't seem to be helping me much.

I'm definitely glad I found this website. I've been taking doxy 100 2x a day for epididimytis. I thought I was the only one going through this. I felt my symptoms were not being experienced by others. I have been freaking out thinking I might have something more severe, but it might just be side effects.

I've been experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of hunger, fevers/night sweats, losing focus, light sensitive, itchy legs, dry throat, pains in abdomen, insomnia, depression, crying episodes, disinterested, paranoia, and suicidal at times.

I never knew a drug like this can have such terrible side effects. I fear going to bed every night because of what goes through my head. Finding this site will bring me some peace for what I'm going through.

It's good to know I'm not the only one freaking out about this.

I've had difficulty sleeping, night sweats, extreme loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, depression, confusion, crying, nervousness, itching in legs, extreme paranoia; just to name a few.

I was concerned I had symptoms of HIV because they are very similar to what effects I'm experiencing with doxycycline. I'm only taking 2 doses of 100/day. Crazy stuff and scary.

started taking Doxycycline for MRSA Staph infection. 2nd time having. Given along with Bactriban ointment for the nose. 1st time had, was prescribed Septra (trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole). Seemed to work, but disappointed when reappeared. Doc. thought Doxy would be more effective. Stomach burning like acid reflux. Relief some when only lite meal, like rice. Doctor prescribed 2 pills twice daily to start... had me vomiting and dizzy. Then settled to 1 pill twice daily. Stomach pain definite issue with this drug!

After taking DOXYCYLINE 110 MG I get a bad case of sour stomach. Today I was just short of vomiting.
I've taking antacids all day today.

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 it for acne. The first day i took it within 1/2 hour i was vomiting and sick.

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!

started taking this 2 days ago and had nothing but a darn migrian to the point the bright lights almost made me feel the need to vomit..im taking 20MG twice daily for acne.

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 got bitten by a tick about a month ago. A week later I was having severe muscle pain and pin prick sensations all over.
Last Friday ( about three weeks after the bite) I got a rash on my breast. It cleared up with Triple ointment in three days but made me worry about Lyme disease. I went to the emergency room Sunday. The doctor assured me he didn't think I had Lyme but I did have systoms. He gave me doxycycline for Lyme.(even though there was no tests to confirm that I had it). Today is Wednesday and an hour after I took the pill this morning I got very dizzy, almost passed out and began vomiting. Tonight the nausea is gone but I still feel weird i.e. lightheaded/dizzy. I spent the morning in the same emergency room to be told it couldn't be a reaction to the doxycycline. They gave me an antihistamine and pills for vertigo. Yeah RIGHT!!! They didn't even try to find out what was making me dizzy. Sorry, no meds for me to be used as a "bandaid".

took doxycycline for twice a day for 10 days 100mg. had lots of vomiting, ( even with out warning), nausea, dry mouth, lost my taste and when i could taste i had a metal taste or a very horribe taste in my mouth. Also very tired, and wanted to sleep a lot. hot did not know this was what caused the problem until i went back to dr. i had finished the entire 10 days!! Still havent gotten my taste back and still feel nausea a lot and i took the last pill on Friday morning Aug. 26, 05. I think it did something to my taste!!! I still am not better. I was given it for broncitus. Still have upset stomach too.

Enough nausea to keep me from getting to school a few days. No vomiting, but I feel close to it at times.

I take Doxycycline off and on for mild acne. I noticed that I definitely had to eat a meal before I took a pill, and even then it always made me a bit nauseous. Last night I took one around midnight and went to bed. I woke up at quarter to 5 with chest pain. I got up and tried to eat something but that was painful too. I've been trying to drink water all day but it appears to have no effect. It's now 12 hours later and I still have chest pain, and I feel like vomiting. I will never take this again!

I started doxycycline 3 days ago for an STD which I'm not even sure I have, but the doctor felt it necessary to give me medication for it any way. I've had severe nausia and vomiting and I have to drink a full bottle of water to keep it down. I have slight chest pain right inbetween my breats, a constant headache, dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite espcially in the morning.

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!

I took Doxycylcline for acne that returned after my second treatment of Accutane. I have never been so sick, and I am a health conscious athletic person. After 5 pills I noticed frequent urination, anal leakage at night (yes, I am serious), tingle feeling in my hands, vomiting, nausea, dizziness and problems with my visions. I had wine with my dinner and that was a mistake. I stopped taking it immediately on the 5th day, and it has been over 8 days that I have not been taking it, and I still have these side effects. I am waiting for my doctor to call me back right now. If I knew about these side effects, I would never have taken this medicine!

I'm amazed that it's prescribed for acne since I broke out worse than I have in a long time after taking it. Using it to treat vaginal infection, extreme bleeding (12 weeks) and now that the bleeding has stopped I have a yeast infection. Also skin sensitive to light, vomiting and severe nausea within 20 minutes if taken on an empty stomache and mild headaches and dizziness that last all day. I'm not generally prone to headaches so this was a noticeable side effect. I wish my RN had told me some of these side effects before hand so I didn't have to wonder what was happening to me and be totally clueless until after 10 days of taking it, coming online and finding that what I'm experiencing is actually "normal" for this drug.

i was prescribed Doxy. for an std, and i was told to take it for 28 days and go back after 4 month for tests. i feel nausea while taken on empty stomach but no vomiting yet.
The problem ihad cause gave bumps in my face but since i started taking the medication bumps have gone and i hope they don't come.

Terrible nausea within an hour of taking one pill. Took my final dose today, thank god. I don't even know that it's working... Oy, I think I'm gonna vomit...

Vomiting if taken without food. A general slighty nauseated feeling during the day. Lack of an appetite. Diarrhea every morning. To add to it an odd full feeling in my esophogus, makes it difficult swollowing at times.

profused night sweating palpitations vomiting with tingling sensation to hands and fingers mental numbness

Nausea...not vomiting yet. i was told by a doctor to take doxycycline for an infection in my vagina (caused by some spermicide that i wont name)...have to take it twice a day for ten days. also i'm on zyrtec for the itching...so i dont know if that has an effect on anything.

horribly upset stomach and vomiting
