Doxycycline could be used to treat bad skin or to cure an std such as chlamydia or other infectious diseases
But the insomnia was miserable so I called my doctor to ask if there was anything I could do for the side effects, so he switched me to 3 wks of doxycycline, which I started taking immediately. Now I sleep OK but after two days the symptoms are back in full force. I'm wondering if I made a mistake in switching. Have others had similar experiences? Is doxy just slower to take effect?

But in general, your birth control will not be affected by any run-of-the-mill antibiotic that you might be taking for things like sinus infections, strep throat, urinary tract infections, skin infections, acne, etc. Some people believe that because antibiotics disrupt the normal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, they will interfere with the absorption of the birth control pills from your stomach.
I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.
A cephalosporin (such as ceftriaxone) combined with doxycycline is an alternative. Azithromycin can be used for susceptible strains. In children, quinolones and doxycycline are best avoided. Since bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are often the cause of epididymitis in children, co-trimoxazole or suited penicillins (for example, cephalexin) can be used. If there is a sexually transmitted disease, the partner should also be treated.'

Ive been on doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, and the discharge has not gone away at all.. may have even worsened. My vagina hurts excruciatingly every time I pee. How long till the pain and discharge goes away?
t stipulate what bacteria if any had been found but I intend on askingn him if he could refer me to a urologists as having two urinary infections within 6 months (not even) can be a good thing unless I never really got over the 1st one.
In any case thanks again for your time and I'll post an update later when I know more for those of the community that may be interested or going through something similar.
Bacteria are the most common cause of cystitis, and may be introduced into the urinary system for many reasons. Infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea can cause symptoms similar to cystitis, particularly when they are present in young, sexually active men. You are on the right antibiotics. Plesae continue on the same.

I went to urologist and have been on doxycycline for one month and after taking a week of for another month , which helped me and made the pain go away along with the swelling , unfortunately as soon as i stopped taking it the pain and swelling came back. after 3 weeks of that my other urologist put me on levaquin 10 pills and it also helped me , pain went away and swelling, well at least to my knowledge..
Hi,
If it is as small as you estimate - the ultrasound may be a better tool. If it is also as small as you say, chances are it is not causing the symptoms.
If there is pain, chances are that there is an infection. The infection usually comes from the urinary tract. If you don't have any risk factors for sexually acquired infections - then your doctor may consider an anomalous urinary tract and evaluate this possibility.
Pain may also come from overlaps in the nerves.
It's common to get uti within the first trimester. I had one at 8 weeks, I'm not sure what antibiotics they put me on but I'm 31weeks now and my baby boy is perfectly healthy. Dr's won't put you on any medication that will harm your baby unless it would be more harmful for you not to take it. I have epilepsy as well and they took me off of the medication I was on and put me on something safer for the baby.
Similar Mycoplasma infections are often found in rheumatic diseases, such as RA, where over one-half of patients have such infections. These infections are very difficult to completely suppress, and most patients with them suffer from relapses due to persistence of the infection after treatment. Long-term antibiotics like doxycycline are often used against Mycoplasma species (see Treatment Considerations, www.immed.org) with various degrees of success.
A couple years ago I started developing chronic urinary infections. There was always some mild bleeding with these. I take medication from the doctor, it would go away, and then a few months later it would be back. Sometimes the urine tests would come back negative. No one knew what was happening.
I started keeping a log of when this started and what I was doing different. I realized that I had started drinking a lot of ice tea.
2 weeks later i did a sputum test which showed I had klebsiella oxytoca infection as well as pseudonomas aeruginosa. They treated me with cetamadine iv for 7 days and 10 days of doxycycline (oral). The klebsiella was gone but pseudonomas remained. They then put in a pic line and gave me 3 daily doses of gentamyacin , and 10 days of zosyn . ( zosyn ran for 20 hrs per day and genta for 1hr) .
