I took it for 7 days and got extreme fatigue and felt so weak that it was difficult to raise my body to get up. I noticed something seemed to be at the bottom of my lungs taking space so that I couldn’t take a full inhalation. This “thing” disappeared when the drug ended. At the last day I got severe vomiting lasting 8-10 hours and diarrhea. I was so thirsty and couldn’t keep water down. I’m hurting , now, in my upper abdomen over my liver and my stomach. After one day, I could sip water. Day 2 I could eat an apple. I’m taking it slowly regarding food. And I notice my vision is blurry. And I seem to have an everlasting headache.

I was prescribed this medication March 26 and I have been very, very sick sense taking it. The doctor took me off of it before I was done with it. It has caused severe abdominal pain and severe diarrhea. Even though the doctor took me off it because of side effects as of today I still suffering really really bad with pain and an enormous amounts of bathroom trips. I am now under a doctors care and still very sick from this medicine. Not getting any better yet. Don’t take this medication if at all possible.

Doxycycline is not known to cause any significant weight loss or weight gain.
@hawkshealth11 ай бұрын
@@Vader1005 Clinical trials and subsequent trials showed no significant evidence of weight loss. Individuals having gastrointestinal upset causing vomiting or nausea could lead people to restrict their food intake due to the GI upset. It doesn't mean the medication causes weight loss. It simply means that individuals ate less, due to the GI upset leading to potential weight loss. As. a result, the medication rarely causes significant weight loss in and of itself.

@@hawkshealth There are two versions of this compound the hyclate form works better but is more irritating to the stomach the mono hydrate version is easier on the gut. Ask your doc for a script for that version. You shouldn’t take either and lay down since the drug can creep up your esaphogous and hive you heartburn do not take any tetracycline with calcium Loaded foods or vitamins with calcium within 2 hours. Also these antibiotics can interfere with birth control pills rendering them less effective. Ask your doc about this. Take with lots of water and stay out of the sun they make your skin more sensitive to sun burn.

I was given it because I was bitten by a tick. It bit and burrowed under my skin in my belly button. When I pulled it out its mouth parts broke off under my skin and I could not get it out. So I was given 1 Doxy dose of 200mg. I took it one an empty stomach. It had been about 6-7hrs since I last ate. Worst mistake ever. 30min after taking the meds I dry heaved for 40min until I threw up all the doxy. Which tasted DISGUSTING. Acidic and sour stomach acids. I was given another dose the next day (today) and this time I just ate lunch. But now I’m all nervous lol which is why I’m watching videos. Because I was hugging the toilet for almost an hour until the nasua went away then had a migraine for almost 16 hours. Sooooo here we go again…. Hopefully it goes down and stays down.
