doxycycline: It works, but gave me bad, bad nausea to the point that I threw up afterwards. I had to take it with some food because of how bad it would irritate my stomach. But other than that, it worked fine for my infection.

doxycycline: Have a cold related ear ache. Took 200mg in the morning with coffee. Nausea within five minutes, vomited within ten minutes. No other malaise. Never a problem with tetracycline but am allergic to penicillin (identical reaction). This was my first dose.
doxycycline: I took this medication for 4 days and had severe side effects. It started out with a stomach ache, nausea, diarrhea then I felt like I had the worst case of the flu. Body aches, chills, low grade fever, dizzy, weak, sore skin plus, the infection I was taking it for only got worse. It's been 4 days since I stopped taking and I still feel horrible.
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.
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: 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: 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: 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 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.
