Side Effects for Doxycycline (doxycycline hyclate)
Nightmares, stomach pain, burning in esophagus, naausea, bloating. UTI returned with yeast all over pelvic area. Bad drug. Still trying to get healthy bacteria back in my gut. Pelvic pain was severe.
I'm no longer taking this medication.
Terrible nausea with upset stomachIndigestionLeg crampsFatigue
It was horrible. I had many side effects and the leg swelling was off the chart crazy. I took one pill. Never again. This drug has been linked to many bigger problems..
Stomach pain, diarrhea, anaphylaxis, Steven's Johnson's symptoms, no appetite, nausea, hives, closed throat.
The doctor prescribed it to me for sinusitis. It was clearing up but wanted to flush the rest of it out. After one dose my throat closed up. I immediatelY stopped taking it and had to go to the emergency room. Day 3 I had Steven Jonson symptoms and had to be put on an aggressive dose of prednisone. Still have painful watery diarrhea and can't really eat.
Trouble swallowing, Intense Dry mouth/Throat, Indigestion/Acid reflux problems, lost weight quickly because I couldn't eat, Panic/Anxiety Attacks (Never had before in my life, Chest Tightening, Heart Palpitations
I have never experienced a medication that had given me so many problems. I was on it for 3 months and the side effects started happening within the first week. I finished the whole 3 months of the medication because I wanted it to help my problem. Even after I finished the medication the side effects lasted 6 months later. I feel like I am not completely back to normal, but so much better then before. I've never dealt with so many health problems after taking this medication which made it the hardest year of my life. I will never take this medication again. I would rather deal with my HS disease pain than deal with the side effects of this medication.
Extreme joint pain, inflammation, muscle pain, skin rash on arms and face, diarrhea, depression, lethargy
Weakness in the legs, panic and anxiety attacks
NEVER TAKE THIS. Avoid at all costs. The hell started after I stopped taking it. Doxy causes tremors after you finish taking it. My daughter has done extensive research on it and my doctor confirmed the tremors can last from 4 months to 18 months. Since I stopped taking it, my daughter has had to help me around, almost on a constant basis because I don't know when a tremor will hit, sometimes so bad I have had to be pushed in a roller chair from room to room. I cannot find my bottle that has the exact dosage, but I would never take even 1 mg of this stuff ever again.

Stomach gas/bloating/pain during week 2 while taking doxy. Discomfort would start after eating
First two days, sweating.A week later, skin peeling of my palms and soles.
I stopped taking the meds, and will go see my doctor. It seems to have caused Steven Johnson symptom.
I was prescribed this antibiotic to heal a skin rash from an insect bite. I had to stop after day 4. I had nausea the first day, stomach cramps around day 3, and after day 4 I thought my throat was closing and went to the er. Dizziness, panic attacks all came along! I would not recommend
Nausea/vomiting, extremely dry/peeling skin, heart palpitations, vaginal dryness, sensitivity to sunlight, fatigue/malaise
Close to finishing. Had onset of lyme's arthritis and seems to have worked as swelling and pain has diminished significantly.
Stopped taking after day 4. Stomach pain, diarrhoea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting. Stopped taking 2 days ago but still suffering the side effects. Wish I’d let the sinusitis clear up on its own!! Avoid!!
Took with plenty of water as advised.
This drug really helps my arthritis but it causes very severe night time leg cramps that wake me up. Can't take it daily like I want to.
Terrible headache, dizziness, floating feeling. Cleared up my face, but side effects were not worth it.
Nausea, blurred vision, muscle cramps, bloody, watery diarrhea

Anyone who has any type of disease or none at all should not take Zocor. I recently tried to kill myself. Couldn't take the pain anymore even after stopping it for 2 weeks. Stiffer regulations re: side effects made available to patients are needed. I will be contacting the FDA & anyone else who will listen. Happy to be alive though!
I've been taking Loestrin/ Junel Fe 1.5/3 for 17 years (and took it for 6 years before stopping to have children). I had headaches for about 2 months after first starting, and when starting up again. Generally light periods (3 days), no mood swings, no weight gain attributable to the pill, normal sex drive, no headaches since. Works for me, but it is pretty important that you take it at roughly the same time every day (I've found that plus or minus 2 hours is fine) - brush your teeth, take your pill...
Started taking Aviane 2 days after my menstrual cycle had ended. I took it for 5 days and am extremely bloated and experiencing the WORST vaginal bleeding I've ever had. It started out as light spotting and now it's horrible and so is the cramping that came along with it. I've stopped taking it and wouldn't recommend this pill to anyone.

dizziness and sleepiness within 30 minutes of taking drug, swollen ankles,heavier bleeding since 5th day of taking the medication.
I am taking this to reduce the pressure and fluid in my head caused by superior semicircular canal dehiscence on my right side, and thinning on my left side. There has been some relief, but it isn't consistent and there is still pressure, and a feeling of my ears being stopped up, as well as the same pain associated with decreasing altitude (as if descending in a plane).
Took 2 weeks for sleep and nausea in pregnancy. Helped sleep but caused irritability and racing heart, panic attack, depression, dizziness, headaches, and all day drowsiness. Side effects are worth the sleep when your still tired with all these side effects the next day!
Along with erythromycin I will never do what a doctor says when prescribed Bactrim DS. This is the worst antibiotic ever. It's been banned in the UK and obviously they had good reasons. Why is it not banned everywhere. If you have a heart condition or take blood thinners, beware! It can kill. I seriously doubt the knowledge of some medical professionals, with their carefree atitude at prescribing dangerous drugs willy nilly.
