Worst thing I could have ever been put on. I started off with the 50mg but since my acne seemed to have come back with a vengeance my doctor increased the dosage.

Nurse said not common side effects for this pill or antibiotics and maybe I'm coming down with something else ? but I was perfectly fine before I took the pill besides chest congestion symptoms " reason for taking the antibiotic in the first place" | F | 37 | 1 days 100mg 2X day | 10/21/2015 | 1 | Ear infection/Acne | Within 45 minutes of taking my first pill WITH FOOD IN MY STOMACH, I vomitted. Felt nauseous and crappy the rest of the day. | I really didn't think I would have an adverse reaction to this pill. If I did, I thought it might have been a yeast infection but noooo, I can't take this medicine without vomiting. My body just will not allow me to consume this medicine. Going back to good old Amoxicillin. | F | 21 | 1 days 100 MG Cap | 1/10/2016 | 1 | head sore | DO NOT TAKE THIS! Severe headache and severe disturbing vision changes. Flashing lights that made me crazy | NEVER TAKE THIS. NEVER. | F | 53 | 1 days 100mg | 1/7/2016 | 1 | bacterial infection | Extreme allergic reaction rash! 30% of my body is covered in different levels/shades of red blotchy sensitive rash/hives right now after one day. | After two doses doctor immediately took me off it the next day. Now have to be on a new round of different antibiotic and now steroids to counteract allergic reaction. Going to miss so much work I can't even grip items with my hand it's so painful | F | 38 | 1 days 100mg | 5/28/2016 | 1 | Potential chest infection | Itchy skin all over but most especially scalp. Did not go out in the sun... started med at night discontinuing. | I started the med at the advice of a doctor on duty doctor since I became ill over the holiday and my regular doctor left town. I had never taken this before but I hoped for relief from a cold that had possibly brought on bronchitis. I am asthmatic so chest colds can become seriously. Shortly after my first dose I noticed a pinging feeling as I felt my skin began to produce histamine reactions to the medication. I ignored it because my skin is sensitive but as the evening progressed it was clear the med was making me itch as I felt the sensation . All over. Because I’m allergic to antihistamines which also make me itch, I don’g see how I can continue with the med. I should note that lately several antibiotics have begun causing skin itching. I am beginning to think I metabolize meds different It concerns me but I have found no solution as most doctors don’t have the ability to troubleshoot reactions especially if you can’t take antihistamine. | F | 46 | 1 days 100 mcg 1X day | 1/2/2018 | 1 | Upper Respiratory Infection | Severe vomiting, severe stomach pains, total loss of appetite, weak feeling, bloody diarrhea, muscle cramps, rash which burned on contact with water. | I was given this medicine in the hospital emergency department after being taken in with a asthma attack and suspected of having a chest infection. Within one hour I was vomiting bright green vomit, and kept on doing this even when I had nothing inside me to vomit anymore, which caused immense pain. This lasted for hours and even anti sickness medication did not work. I then developed a rash which burned when it came into contact with water. I only took ONE dose, and I am still having to force food down my throat two days later. Each mealtime is now a battle between me and my stomach which says 'I'm full' after one mouthful. I wonder if this will end or if I will land up needing more painful investigations. | F | 27 | 1 days 100mg 1X day | 3/13/2013 | 1 | Pneumonia | I became severely nauseated, after first dose. I had food in my stomach. So I took zofran, and it hardly worked. | F | 39 | 1 days 100 mg | 8/24/2014 | 1 | Sinus infection | Terribleeeee stomach cramps... Abdominal pain... Nausea | Do NOT recommend | F | 22 | 1 days | 12/27/2014 | 1 | I had an inflammation | It's,the worse med I ever taken instead to help me it almost killed me I am thinking now to fill a low suite against the manfacutur think 10 times before using that position so called Doxycycline it's,the biggest mistake I ever did | M | 56 | 1 days 100 | 1/2/2015 | 1 | Eye infection | After second dose started experiencing dizziness. This side effect wasn’t listed on paper I received from pharmacy so I did a search and found this site. After reading all the negative reviews I decided to stop taking. Almost 24 hours after my last dose I was so dizzy I couldn’t get out of bed. Then the nausea and lower intestinal cramps set in. Long story short, took almost 7 hours to be able to walk without assistance. Four days later still have ringing in my ears. Never again! | F | 59 | 1 days 100 MG | 11/21/2019 | 1 | Ear infection | Perspiration of hands and feet, tachycardia and fatigue | I have anxiety taking any new medications, so I brushed it off initially.I stopped immediately after the second dose when I realized the medication was causing these symptoms. Although rare, they are more serious adverse reactions. | F | 34 | 1 days 100mg 2X day | 2/25/2023 |
