doryx

1142540 tn?1261368153 My scalp has also been very dry and itchy with dandruff. I never had any of these problems before Doryx and so of course I stopped about a week ago. My hair is at least half of what it was last year. Please help someone if you know anything? How devastating as a woman to have to go through this. If losing hair was listed as a side effect (like it should be), I would not have taken this. Clearly it's no coincidence.
Avatar m tn On day 3 of cipro and feeling none better, but none worse either. Are these maybe symptoms of a hernia? My dr.seems to be a norton and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't catch that of it were.
Avatar n tn This has never happened to me before and I am upset and scared that since Doryx has a delayed-release formula, it will take days for my system to get rid of the drug! I'm waiting to hear from that dermatologist about this horrible side effect. But in the meantime, I'm warning everyone about Doryx. The hair loss won't happen until after a few days so there's no way to tell if you'll suffer the same consequence... until the inevitable occurs.
Avatar n tn I was prescribed the same treatment that had worked so well before (minus the Doryx) but of course it didnt work one bit this time. I was then prescribed Differin and Finacea..no results Abt two months ago, I was prescribed Solodyn, I use neutrogena creamy wash, Retin-A and some hydroquinone for the dark spots. The solodyn make me break out in a HEAP of HIVES !! so I stopped taking it about 3 weeks ago and now I have been prescribe Bactrim?
Avatar n tn I started taking Doryx 250 mg as prescribed by me derm around oct 16...the first week was fine but then I noticed the 2nd week I was losing double the amount of hair in the shower. These weren't even new hairs, but complete long strands were falling off and i've never experience that before. I nearly had a heart attack! I've currently been off the medication for almost a month now and the im still losing more hair than I used to.
Avatar m tn I decided to self medicate with 150 mg Doryx twice a day that I had at the house. Been taking for about six days now. The discomfort just started to go away today on the sixth day. Here are my questions: 1.What are my chances that I caught something and what? 2. Could I have gave it to my wife? 3. Will the Doryx clear up anything I could have caught? 4. How long should I keep taking it? 5.
1138687 tn?1548643978 I also read that Mono makes it to the small colon before breaking down, which would explain the double coating and decreased stomach issues. If all of this is true then it would harmonize with my experience, as Mono was MUCH more tolerable. Unless my recent stomach pain is an accumulative issue, meaning I've been on antibiotics for 3 weeks so far and even if I went back to the Mono I would be as sensitive.
Avatar m tn I performed oral sex on my wife about a week after but there has been no other sexual contact with her. I decided to self medicate with 150 mg Doryx twice a day that I had at the house. Been taking for about six days now. The discomfort just started to go away today on the sixth day. Here are my questions: 1.What are my chances that I caught something and what? 2. Could I have gave it to my wife? 3. Will the Doryx clear up anything I could have caught? 4. How long should I keep taking it?
Avatar n tn Currently I have about four patches on my face that are just red, not huge but undoubtably noticable to anyone, especially with my fair sensitive skin. I was given finacea and that made it worse so I stopped that. When I went back to the derm, she gave me Cloderm to calm it down. I'm skeptical because I'm starting to think its Perioral Dermatitis and Ive read topical steroids and hydocort stuff are horrible for the condition.
Avatar m tn If you lie down the doxy can reflux and irritate the esophagus. This happened to me one time when I took it before bed. I had severe pain from it and could barely function for a week it was so bad. I generally have a cast iron stomache.
Avatar f tn luckily treatment is only 6 months cuz im an early responder it was undetetected at wk 4 but its hard to remember that on my sick days when i feel like i cant move and my back pain takes the breath outta me and im 25 so these months ahead seem like forever....
Avatar m tn I'm not sure why, but lately my penis has been having a fishy odor. I am not sexually active, I'm 19 years old, and I clean it regularly. I shower every day and make sure it is well-washed with soap and water, but it still smells that way after cleaning. There is no rash or irritation at all. It is not semen or pre-ejaculatory fluid related. It always smells this way for the past week now.
1336893 tn?1275746728 the redness around my nose comes and goes, sometimes it will crust up and go away other times when it comes i try to wash my face or anything i do to it just makes it worse, its also spread out through my mustache sometimes and i finally got the courage to ask a derm spec and they said it was an infection around my nose and mouth so she prescribed a topical cream called PROMISEH, and some antibiotics called DORYX. i take them and they do nothing .
Avatar m tn I've been prescribed Keflex, Bactrim, and now Doryx. Still won't go away. I don't go out anymore because of this condition. I don't know what I would do if I met a really cool girl. Oh wait, I'd probably just walk right past her and look the other way, even if she tried to talk to me. This condition is so embarrassing. I've taken about 16/30 of the Doryx medication (Qty. is 30) The marks don't seem to be going away.
Avatar n tn i had a steroid injection in my neck on Monday every since the injection I have hurt worse than before is normal ? I have has problems sleeping before the neck injury because I have had a fusion at l4 l5 s1. I have ddd and recently found out that I have arthritis in my lower back now.
Avatar m tn Hello, I planned on getting STD tested in a few weeks but just completed a ZPACK (azithromycin) for a sinus infection and my dermatologist has put me on 100 mg doryx (doxycycline) for acne. Other then the HIV test should I go ahead and get tested for gono, syph, chla? The reason I ask is that from what I am reading on this forum, often times those antibiotics would clear up those infections. Thank you. This has been a very helpful and informative forum.
317822 tn?1223241475 Thanks for all the support and suggestions, you can never try TOO many things to take away some of the WDS I have learned, some things help for a bit, and some don't you just have to fight through it I suppose?
Avatar f tn I was having similar pain most of yesterday.felt like tugging on my left side...I was told by a nurse friend to do some light stretches before bed and in the am..I am 17 weeks also, if you continue to have pain call your dr.
