"I've been taking doxycycline for a month due to a trip to Africa. I will be taking it for a further month now that I am home. I get awful heartburn and nausea and would not choose to take it again. My partner takes an alternative, more expensive treatment with no side effects whatsoever. I will be choosing that medication in the future!"

"I am taking it daily as a preventive for malaria and just started. Definitely needs to be taken with food or you will become violently ill, including vomiting. Within 30 minutes of taking it, nausea and stuffy nose occur. The nausea symptoms last for an hour, the stuffy nose a little longer and disappears after 3 hours. I expect to be out of the country for the next 4-5 years, and I am not looking forward to taking this on a daily basis."

Doxycycline "I liked using the medicine as a prophylactic. I used it for a very long period of time: four years or more, with very few lapses at all. I just had to remember to take a daily pill, and that was it. I took it for three trips in two years in a foreign country and three months before and after the trips. I took a six-month, eleven-month, and nine-month trip with only a six-month and four-month separation. I also took it during the lapses between trips since you should take it ninety days before the trip. I had no side effects during that period except that I did not get a cold very often. By the way, it was all at a high altitude since this was in Afghanistan."
