doxycycline: I've been sick for 3 years with a sinus infection, bacterial infection, middle ear infection, respiratory infection and so on - (was working in the Drains) - couldn't get rid of it. Have too to date (with Proof) 400 prescribed tablets from the doctors, (not including all the off the shelf one's I got myself (another 3/400). Anyway to cut a long story short, I have been on these doxycycline tablets for 2 weeks now (100MG a day) and am feeling a lot better. It's breaking down all the mucus etc. I can smell again now so if you have a massive sinus infection GET THIS - IT WORKS.

doxycycline: I was using it for a sinus infection. Have had so many side effects including what I think are hives.

doxycycline: I was prescribed doxycycline to clear up a serious infection in my tonsils. I don't usually like to take pills, but just a couple days into treatment, there was a considerable positive difference in the swelling and spots on them. It did make me very nauseated though.

doxycycline: My doctor sent me doxycycline hyclate for a bacterial infection and after taking it for 5 days I have been having diarrhea on the 6th and 7th day. I hope that goes soon. This antibiotic has helped my stuffy and "sneezy" allergic symptoms although on the 7th day I am still feeling and sounding stuffy. The doctor recommended 10 days of 200 mg each day; 100 mg every 12 hours.

doxycycline: No trouble so far taking doxycycline after oral surgery, but tetracycline 250mg made me very, very dizzy.

doxycycline: Be Careful! The medication "burned" the inside of my esophagus leaving a very painful sore that simply has to heal by itself. 2 doctors told me this is "common" with Doxycycline.

doxycycline: I was put on doxycycline because I had a sinus infection that I just couldn't fight off. I tried taking it for three days but had excessive, explosive vomiting about a half hour after I took it. I was switched to another antibiotic, but I couldn't take it long enough to help.

doxycycline: I had a sinus/ear issue for some time now, worse at times. This last time the Z pack did not help, along with amoxicillin. Sinus always returned until doctor prescribed doxycycline which took about 5 days to get going - prescription for 10 days. The side effect for me was some chest pain and some anxiety taking into account I developed ulcer pain/problems. The chest pain decreased after a week or so. Will stick it out 10 days hope the sinus/ear infections don't come back.
