"I went for a routine check-up with my doctor. She called me and told me that I sadly had chlamydia. I am on day 6 of 10. I didn't have any symptoms for this infection, so I can't say I notice a difference. I plan on getting tested again after I am done just to make sure. My only side effects are just a little nausea after taking them."

"Remember not to lay down after taking doxycycline. Take it with a drink and a meal. Day 5 of this treatment. Good so far. No problems except for a slight headache after taking two too soon together. I still just want to hurry up, finish them, and get checked again."

"Halfway through my week-long treatment for chlamydia. I was nervous about starting this medication with the bad reviews, but I have so far had no side effects whatsoever, and my symptoms have gone. I will continue with the last days of the treatment, but I think this has cured me."

"I started to try natural antibiotics like garlic and others, but the day after I got ahold of these, the discharge slowly stopped. This is a lifesaver. Although 2 days into treatment, I have had stomach and diarrhea pains. I think it's getting better, but at least my clap is gone."

"So on the 2nd day of taking doxycycline, I threw up within 30 mins of my first dose of the day. From the 2nd day onward, I had severe nausea after every dose, and I’d spend every morning sat by the toilet feeling like I would throw up any minute! I tried taking the capsules with milk, before food, after food, with food, but nothing helped to stop the nausea. I never usually experience side effects from medication, but doxycycline was probably the worst experience I’ve ever had and has put me off taking capsules and other tablets for good."

"I've been taking doxycycline for 5 days, and I feel terrible. When I started taking it, I had barely any symptoms. My discharges smelled a little bit bad, but in the past five days, it has gotten way worse. I also puked in the morning and felt nauseous the whole day. I'm kind of scared that it won't work because I puked 10 minutes after taking one of the pills."

"I was having severe abdominal pains, loss of appetite, weight loss, and prolonged diarrhea, and I initially thought it was my IBS, which did play a part in it. But I also got tested for chlamydia, thrush, and gonorrhea, and chlamydia came back positive, but the others were negative. The docs prescribed me doxycycline, and within a day, my belly ache cleared up, and since then, I noticed a change in my appetite and had zero pain in my belly. I have 2 days left, and I have experienced some side effects like headaches, nausea, and skin sensitivity. Although my discharge is still there, the medication is clearing it up."

"Was scared to take it after reading reviews, but had zero side effects, maybe a weird belly, but nothing major. It's now day 4 and so far symptoms are still here slightly, though I still have 3 days left, so don't know if my infection is gone yet. Definitely eat food before taking."

"I've been taking this antibiotic for a few days now. And just wondering if I'm totally screwed. I took my first dose. Made me vomit, so I stopped taking it for a day or two. Then started taking it again with food, which helped. But because I missed doses, I don't know if it will still keep working. I have to take two a day for fourteen days."

"Was prescribed this for an STI infection. I combed through all the reviews on here and was terrified it would be the worst thing in the world. Do not let these reviews scare you! I am on day 4, and honestly, my side effects have only been headaches, which are very manageable. I failed to eat within an hour of taking dose 3, and that’s when I got nauseous… like super nauseous. Just make sure to take it with food, and you will be totally fine. I was asymptomatic, so I have no reference on how fast it started working on clearing up symptoms. So far, everything has been fine and minimal side effects. I will be retested at week 3 per dr's orders to see if treatment was effective. Please do yourself a favor and don’t read all these worst-case scenario reviews and scare yourself. Just follow instructions from your dr and make sure to eat right when you take the pills."

"I just took my first dose this morning and was super anxious about taking it. I waited a few days before finally accepting that I needed to take it or things could get worse. I took it at around 8:30 a.m. and ate some food right before taking it, drank a lot of water throughout the day, and have had no issues so far aside from my regular anxiety. No stomach pain, headache, or anything! I am asymptomatic, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to tell how it works, but I'll have my retest in a few weeks and update at the end of this week as to how it affected me, if at all! Don’t be scared! I worked myself up for no reason! I'm taking it 2 times a day for 7 days!"

"I’m reading all these experiences, and I think I have bigger side effects reading all these experiences. For me, I took the meds as prescribed after being diagnosed with chlamydia, and after the first day, I felt no more pain. After the second day, I noticed my urine wasn’t as cloudy. After the third day, I puked once because I didn’t eat and drink enough water, but it was fine, after I puked, I was better. After the fourth day, I felt good! My urine was normal, no burning, no testicular pain, and my face even looked cleaner and clearer than usual, and that’s because I have always kept my face clean and clear, it just looked even better."

"Slept with my new partner who said he was clean, and on day 3, I started experiencing sharp cramps in my ovary area on both sides, as well as in my vagina. A few days later, I had a lot of discharge, and initially, my doctor treated me for BV, but I decided to take an STI test because I just knew something wasn't right with my body (always listen to your intuition). Been prescribed doxycycline, 2 tablets a day for 2 weeks, and so far, so good. On day 3, my cramps disappeared entirely. Please eat before taking these pills and wait at least 1 hour before popping it in your mouth. The side effects are bad but only last 30 minutes or so for me. Now I carry condoms with me when on holiday, even when I know I won't be getting busy. I don't trust anyone when they say they got tested and are clean."

"These meds will definitely put you down if you don’t take this seriously! I have a very weak stomach and have tried doxycycline twice now. This is my third time on it, and I can honestly say that eating carbs for the morning pill has saved me. I’m on day 4 and already feel immensely better, with the symptoms slowly diminishing. I know this medicine tells you it’s best on an empty stomach, but the past two times taking this pill, I've thrown up at least one pill in the morning from not eating, and it didn’t work. I even went to the pharmacy to get another pill to add it onto my week, but it still wasn’t enough. You need to take all your medicine in the same time frames, evenly spread out (12 hours). I promise you, potatoes, bread, tater tots, or even McDonald’s french fries! Whether you have to take this for a week or more, know you’re gonna get through this and feel 100 times better. Hoping I get through these last couple of days and the test comes back negative."

"I got chlamydia a few weeks back. I didn’t have any symptoms at all. I didn’t know I had it until I slept with someone who did. But after I slept with someone else not knowing I had it, they got tested positive. I was prescribed doxycycline, and I just finished my 7 days of taking it."

"I didn’t really have any problems taking this medication (took for 7 days), however, I did delay taking it for ages as I have a huge fear of vomiting and pills. I had little side effects like feeling sick and stomach pains, but this was manageable. I do not think this cleared my infection as I still have all my symptoms, such as the horrible discharge, pain down there, and while urinating. I don’t know what’s going on, it’s been months, and I’m so upset."

"I went to the clinic for BV only to get a call a week later, sadly saying that I have chlamydia. I didn’t have symptoms at all until a few days after treatment. I’ve had light pelvic pain. I did research, and pelvic pain resolves within 2 weeks, so I hope it clears by the 30th. I’ve taken doxycycline for a week. It was 4 pills a day, 2 in the AM and 2 in the PM. They were to be taken 12 hours apart. Everybody is different, so be mindful and take care of yourselves."

"I was tested positive for chlamydia for the second time. The first time I had one dosage of Azithromycin, which cleared everything right up. A year later, I tested positive again and was prescribed doxy for one week. The meds made me so sick I had no appetite. I felt so weak, had heavy breathing. By the third day, I didn’t feel like myself at all. The symptoms actually got worse before they got better. The only reason I finished is because I am desperate to get rid of this STD. Literally, my worst nightmare happened all over again. I finished the meds and still have minor symptoms. I was also diagnosed with BV, so I don't know if the symptoms are from chlamydia or BV. I have a doctor's appointment soon, if I still have chlamydia, I will be requesting something other than doxy."

"After testing positive for chlamydia, I was given doxycycline (2 tablets a day for 7 days). On day 6, all symptoms of the infection have gone, so hopefully it has gone. I’ve experienced nausea, which caused me to throw up once, and I’ve had crippling heartburn from day 4 onwards. Hoping the tablets have worked and that the heartburn stops soon!"

"I had zero side effects from doxy. Zero change in bowel movements. No headaches or heartburn. No nausea either. No racing heartbeat as I am prone to palpitations (skipping beats or even fast heartbeat) as I cannot even have caffeine but had zero problems. I took Prilosec only with this drug as I am prone to reflux. I ate 1.5 hours before taking this drug with 16 oz water. I would sit upright for 1 hour and then drink another 16 oz bottle of water. I would take a probiotic 2-3 hours after taking the antibiotic. I should add that I was taking 3000 mg of lysosomal vitamin C (not at the same time as the antibiotic and I took 1000 mg 3 times a day), elderberry extract, zinc, fish oil, selenium, garlic, 5000 IU of D3/K2, Culturelle 15 billion CFU’s, and AZO cranberry supplements while on this antibiotic. Not sure if any of that played any role in keeping side effects at bay. I did avoid sugary products and high carb meals too."

"Was quite a shock to be tested positive for chlamydia. Went to the clinic, they prescribed me this medication, doxycycline, to take twice a day, in the morning and evening. Was advised not to drink milk, as milk somehow mixes with the medicine and can stop it from working, so I haven’t drunk milk or tea, anything involving a lot of milk, for 7 days! At the beginning, felt a lot of nausea but never threw up. It made me feel quite tired, with little energy and some joint pain. Also, slight feelings of headaches, but I made sure I took medicine with a full glass of water, and it helps a lot to eat straight after taking the medicine to line your stomach! Your body will start adjusting. I hope that it’s cleared the infection. Haven’t been retested again yet."

"First day on doxycycline, and seems okay so far, taken 100 mg got another to go today for 7 days. Only really had some nausea, but nothing too bad, and a bit of a headache. I’ve taken it 10 minutes after food and plenty of water, that seems to really help."

"Day 2 of the doxycycline. I forgot my dose last night, but today I took it this morning and plan on taking it tonight. No side effects for me so far! In fact, my anxiety has actually lifted a ton since this medication! I already have my next retest scheduled, hoping everything clears up!"

"I have been taking this medication, doxy, for three days. No side effects except minor loss of appetite, but I still make myself eat a little something. Since taking the antibiotics, my discharge has gone away, and I hope by 7 I am free from this nightmare. Both my partner and I are taking these antibiotics, and I will be using condoms from now on."

"After being infected with Chlamydia for 4 weeks with all acute symptoms (burning while peeing, testicle pain, frequent urination, pain in the urethra, etc.), I started this medication. Everything went promising, and I was 95% recovered. No side effects, but symptoms started re-emerging 2 weeks after completion of 7 days of medication. I was drinking and doing weed, and I got the flu, which brought all the pain back again 7 days ago, which is 2 weeks after completion of doxycycline for 7 days. Never masturbate or drink or use weed for a while until 100% cure. Now I am on another antibiotic, Azithromycin...90% effective. Still not normal. Stay active and stop all pleasure until 100% cure."
