I have a chronic problem with my eyes (conjuctiva inflamation, heavy,hot eyelids,burning, itching,sensation of foreign body etc) and used for last 5 years a lot of antibiotics in drops and oinments.A doctor I visited first time prescribed mr Doxycycline 100mg x 2 x 20 days and after that 100mg x 1 x 10 days. On the third day of taking 100 x 2 I felt absolutely healthy with my eyes and felt so during all the period of taking 100 x 2 x 20 days. When after that I changed the dose tp 100 x 1 - at once all bad symptoms were reverted.
In a week I tried again to take 100 x 2 with no effect. Who can explain it to me,why Doxycycline worked so short period?
Thank you,Alex
Why Doxycycline I used (100mg x2) stopped working?

The only thing I can think of is that your body became used to the 100 x 2. By lowering the dose to 100 x 1 your body may have reacted in such way because possibly a bit of withdrawal. By going back up to the 100 x 2 may take a bit to build back up into your system.
Can't really explain why it happened considering you went a different route than your doctor prescribed. You should let your Doctor know (if you didn't) that you never lowered it to 100 x1 when prescribed and now having no effect being back up at 100 x 2. Your Doctor will be able to tell you why it didn't work the second time around.
I sure hope you getting to feeling back to normal soon!
