Has anyone else taken the antibiotic doxycycline and experienced hypnic jerks or restless leg syndrome. I have found a few things on the internet where people have had this happen but what I cannot find is if the symptoms go away once the medication is stopped. Has anyone stopped taken doxycycline and had the RLS symptoms stop? I have never in my life experienced anything like this and it has come on so quickly and just seems to be getting worst. I am going to stop taking this medication today but any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
