Doxycycline has ruined my life!

Your having a negative reaction to it. Doxy is acidic and its tearing up your intestinal system. I had this happen to me after just a couple days on it. I stopped taking it and its taken me days on a very bland diet. I took pepto just to get the diarrhea under control but no other medication. I would get a different doctor and if your showing symptoms or testing positive for Lyme disease there are other treatments than Doxy

I was prescribed and started doxycycline on 8/11/2021 for a stubborn rash originally thought to be folliculitus, but my new dermatologist suspects adult acne. The medication has worked a little bit, perhaps. I have LGL leukemia and have been at the blood disorders clinic every week for three weeks. My bloodwork for leukemia seems to be stable but my creatinine levels ate increasing every week. Today they were at 1.46 (top of range is 1.2). I've never had a problem with kidney function. My water intake is excellent at ~80 ounces daily. I'm stopping the doxy until after my next blood draw on Tuesday. Anyone else have this issue?

first of all the Lyme Protocol is 28 days, Not 14 days...

You most likly need to fet back on it for 28 days ..

Enjoy..

I know this is an old thread ...

But these sound like the same symptoms you get if you lay down before an hour after taking.

You have to wait at least one hour before laying down. I can tell ya I found this out the hard way. I thought I was having a heart attack the pain in my chest was so bad.

Not sure if that was the case here. But I figured I would throw it out there for anyone looking for answers on this topic.

has anyone developed pruritic lesions on skin on doxycycline that wont heal?

I'm laying in bed with a bottle of doxycycline in my hand. My health is not as good as it once was, but after the age of 18 I began to have severe allergic reactions to antibiotics I'd taken many times before. Now at 56 I'm allergic, as in anaphylaxis to 15 different antibiotics. Yay me! So I have major oral surgery last Thursday. Doctor reviews all my allergies, asks what works for me, I tell him, "Not taking any!". He sends me out with a prescription I promptly get filled. Due to my history I have my epi pens sitting next to me. I take 1 pill, I wait, right about the 2 minute mark I feel like my throat is closing. I don't panic, I instead take a Benadryl. That helped, but then I started coughing and couldn't stop, not even to breathe. I gasp to my Fiance, "EPI, NOW" it's administered, but I'm not getting better. 911.... hospital....new allergy to add. So now I'm laying here contemplating what could happen. Doctor's are very aware of my situation, but they're somewhat at a loss to figure out the best antibiotic for whatever I'm being treated for. I'm also a

MRSA carrier, making things even more difficult. I'll hopefully be able to tell everyone it worked...but honestly I'm not very optimistic!

its IBS. and if u: - stop taking the probiotic (this being the main culprit and thereforemost important) (ppl will Try and tell you they are so healthy and what not blah blah blah but in reality you will be just fine if you eat healthy and you take your daily vitamins. but research your vitamins) , - try to drink at least 5‐6 water bottles in a day. (tech. more but i cant stand wer so i replace a little with things like watermelon and popsicles. lets be real, like 70% of the US doesnt drink water like they should either).- drink vitamin d milk (not within 3 hours of taking any antibiotics due to bad stomach absorption). your seems to be more on the more common Side of IBS symptoms(diarrhea) . Mine is more the opposite. I don't go but once a week so I therefore would not be drinking a whole lot of milk because it could make my symptoms worse. but should help yours. - and finally exercise when you can (lightly till symptoms fade) eat healthy and get sleep . it will get better

This medication made my condition so much worse. I had sores & blisters over my whole body. I couldn't sleep at night. My skin was just going crazy. My body temperature is all over the place. My legs & feet swelled worse. I felt like mentally I am in a scary place. Being extra careful with my checkbook. This is a very dangerous antibiotic. I called Dispatch Health since they prescribed it. No call back. Called PCP for a callback, still waiting. After 3 1/2 days of taking it, I stopped. Nobody gives a rip anyhow. Are there any considerate & caring doctors still working? It's all about the money. That's it.

hello.I'm also going through the worst due to doxycycline.It left me with a hurting lower back, peeing frequently and shoulder and neck pain.i feel so uncomfortable when i sit or sleep I'm so stressed and all alone.they were given to me when i had a mild bacteria infection.its the only antibiotic that has destroy my health

I was put on doxycycline a year ago last Sept. for a rare tick disease HGE. I got the bad heart burn and later was told it caused esophagitis. But 10 days into the treatment I almost blacked out and couldn't hardly walk. my son got me to the ER. were I had a seizure, spitting up blood. my body was shutting down. liver, kidneys and my lactic acid was very high. I was hospitalized, and the next day had a seizure that lasted over an hour. I was air lifted to another hospital and spent 4 days in ICU. since then I've had 4 surgical procedures, 6 hospitalizations and countless doctor visits. and I'm not done. alot of stomach issues also. being sent to a GI. I know the med caused this. I was bit by the tick end of July that year. the tick disease was not diagnosed till mid Sept. You are right it is a bad drug, and sadly the only one I know of to treat tick disease. you wrote this over 3 years ago. I do hope your health has improved.

I just started this today, I usually never have problem with antibiotics and with all the reports here is scary the living out of me. lets see how it goes. I do take omeprezol for acid but that is at night and as long as it is at least 4 hours in time it is okay. I alway get neck pain so I am expecting it to be worse. I will buy some ginger extract pills for any nausea cause I get that so this might worsen it. I am trying to prepare for the worse. Wish me luck.
