"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."

"Doxycycline is not a nice antibiotic to take, 100 mg x 2 per day. Constant stomach pain, nausea for hours after taking, bloating, swollen esophagus from acid reflux. Spent a lot of time sat over a toilet feeling like I was going to be sick. Not sure if it's worked, I haven't displayed any symptoms, so I won't know for another 3 months until I get tested again. If I had the option between this and another antibiotic, I would take the other antibiotic, and I would probably recommend others do too."

"I went to see the gynecologist on Monday, April 18th. I went in not having any symptoms, and I had gotten my pap smear done and a chlamydia screening done. On the 19th, I received a phone call stating that I was positive for chlamydia. I instantly started freaking out because for the whole 23 years of my life, I have NEVER had an STI. My doctor put me on this medication, it was literally two pills I had to take the same day (azithromycin). I took those, and the next day I still felt the same way, so I called my doctor and told him what was going on, and he prescribed me a different medication called (doxycycline). I've been taking this medication since the 20th, but I don't know if it's working. I'm still urinating a lot, and it's somewhat uncomfortable."

"I'm on day 3 and have a 101.8 fever, no appetite, extremely fatigued, and I think I have the chills (it's mid-summer and I'm in bed wearing pants, socks, and under a sheet and 2 thin blankets while the thermostat reads 78). Saw two doctors: OB-GYN and gastroenterologist... my symptoms indicate I have either chlamydia or an irritable bowel disease, like Crohn's. Chlamydia test results come in tomorrow and then a colonoscopy in a few weeks."

"So, I went to the doctor and got tested for Chlamydia, was also prescribed doxycycline. The side effects were absolutely terrible for me. I had chlamydia in the past and took two sets of two different antibiotics since I cannot take azithromycin. Those two sets of medications' effects were nothing compared to this antibiotic. Luckily, the doctors called me back and said my test was negative, so I stopped taking the medication. But now I am getting strong urges to pee and nothing is coming out? Now I am worried I do have chlamydia, it was a false negative, but it is very rare to get a false negative for a Chlamydia test. So I am not quite sure what is up."

"First of all, I have really bad anxiety, and I was scared to take this. But the doctor said I had to for a week. The first time I took it, I freaked out really bad and had a panic attack, which I don't really ever get. But I guess it was all uphill from there. Because of my anxiety, I really didn't want to take any pills. I try to live very clean, eating organic and exercising, so this pill kills good bacteria in your stomach, and that has a huge effect on your mental state and increases anxiety and stress. I feel better after taking it. But I lost my appetite, and I wasn't taking probiotics, which is a must. So in a week, I lost close to 10 pounds. And my stress and anxiety were through the roof. My only feedback is to take a lot of probiotics with this."

"One thing that really helps with the nausea is taking it after or while eating thick yogurt, like Greek yogurt. When I did that, I didn't get nauseous."
