Doxycycline causing more issues?!

Posted , 7 users are following.

i was prescribed Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for a sinus infection a week ago, im at the end of the weeks course and my sinus symptoms have eased however im experiencing headaches, nausea, excessive gas and heightened anxiety.

are these common side effects of doxy? will they subside quickly now ive finished them?

    Hi quick question, did you have anxiety before taking those tablets?

      hi jean,

      yes i suffer with anxiety, currently on 50mg sertraline which has helped. havent had a anxiety flare up since starting sertraline so bit of a coincidence that its heightened since being on Doxycycline

    The symptoms you face are all anxiety related. This needs to be addressed.
