Avatar n tn Hi, It is found that patients on doxycycline can notice sun burn like or severe skin reaction on exposed parts. Some might have liver dysfunction or renal dysfunction. They also have anti-anabolic effect; hence more protein is broken down and increases the urea content. Some patients can have vertigo and nystagmus like symptoms. I would like to know, how old are you? For what have they prescribed you Doxycycline? Since when are you experiencing chest pain? Keep me informed. Bye.
Avatar m tn My question is, would the increase in acid reflux and stomach pain be a likely side effect of the doxycycline. I know doxycycline can cause acid reflux or stomach pain right after you take it, but could it cause it many hours later? What about the itchy bumps on my arm? I know doxycycline can make your skin sensitive to light, so might that be a skin reaction caused by it?
Avatar m tn Is it safe to get Doxycycline 100mg on a long term basis? I am allergic to Wheat (i have not done allergy test but i noticed the last two year that after eating bread or pasta i get spots all over my head which turn into a rush-blood test showed that it is not fungus causing this reaction ) and the only thing that helps is this medicine. I would say it is a bit impossible to avoid wheat based food completely.
Avatar n tn It is a broad spectrum antibiotic and works by slowing the growth of bacteria in the body. The usual side effects include headache, body aches, skin rash and loss of appetite. (ref: http://www.drugs.com/doxycycline.html) Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Doxycycline is not related to amoxicillin and sulfa drugs as it belongs to a different category of drugs(tetracyclines).Side effects of doxycycline are headache, dizziness, blurred vision, body aches, flu symptoms,skin rashes,chest tightness,respiratory difficulty,nausea,vomiting etc. I strongly advise you to ask your daughter to stop taking doxycycline so that no life threatening anaphylaxis occurs.
Avatar n tn My 70 lb lab mix is on Prednisone and doxycycline because he tested positive for heartworms. He has had excessive thirst peeing and panting, increased respiratory rate and heart rate .I'm concerned about this but the vet says it's necessary in order to prepare him for the immiticide injections. Anyone have a similar situation?
Avatar f tn I taken antibiotics in the past and took me 1 full year to recover from stomach issues and side effects. I don't plan to suffer like that again.
Avatar f tn A lot of skin problems are caused by Celiac disease. My sister didn't believe me that she needed to be tested for Celiac disease, but yep, she has it and going gluten free cleared up the skin problems she'd had since she was about 11. I had all sorts of skin problems too that improved immensely. I do like tea tree oil for healing skin breakouts.
Avatar n tn The accutane reduced the cysts but made my skin very dry, particularly on my forehead and lips. I stopped using accutane due to the side effects and basically gave up on my skin. For the next two years my forehead continued to have very dry, dead looking skin on it and my skin had moderate-severe acne. I am now out of college and over the past year, I tried using an exfoliating cleanser along with duac gel and finacea as well as doxycycline as an antibiotic.
700212 tn?1240760820 Hi. I had the same issue with my skin. I couldnt touch the skin on my face throut tx. I was told NOT to sit in sun and honestly from being so weak I dont think I could have anyway. However I did get the sensitivity like you said when I touched by skin..it was very uncomfortable....There really isnt anything you can do about it. I had lots of sx that were just odd like feelings, sensations hot- cold and my face felt like I had a 3rd degree sunburn all the time.
Avatar f tn brain fog, nausea, fatigue, arthritis type pain and dry skin issues. I also felt very cold at times and lost about 35-40 lbs. Some lingered on post tx, even to this day although not as severe. On another note, I visited some friends in Abingdon a few years ago on my way to the Cup race in Bristol, TN. A beautiful place with some of the friendliest folks I have ever met. Hopefully it has not changed. Best wishes and good luck to you.
Avatar n tn And I am even more sorry you are having an upset stomach. Common doxycycline side effects include an upset stomach and I was surprised to read that also fairly common is an unexplained rash. Of course a skin reaction to sunlight is also a side effect. You can take the medication with or without food. I was going to suggest hat you take it with milk but you cannot take it with milk or other dairy products, unless your doctor has told you to.
Avatar m tn It is day 17 now and I woke up this morning terrified to see my tongue and gums being covered by a whitish plaque. I trued to follow up with doxycycline side effects on the net, but for oral symptoms the information is patchy at best. I may have one small lymph swelling on my left neck (I believe), no fever, no sweats, no chills. Could this nevertheless be a symptom of ARS? Time-wise, it is possible, isn't it? Or is it just a side effect of over 10 days of taking doxycycline? Please help!
Avatar f tn Has anyone experienced side effects from this?? I have taken it before but the next day after I took it this time.. I started to get joint pain in knee and elbows real bad with some hand pain..
Avatar f tn This treatment has a high risk of psychiatric side effects, you need to find a doctor who is up to date on the treatment and side effects. Search the archives on this forum, its got lots of good discussions and information. Good luck.
Avatar f tn They are full of it! Those are the side effects of Tamoxifen along with several others! take a look at this: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/therapy/tamoxifen What are some of the more common side effects of tamoxifen? The known, serious side effects of tamoxifen are blood clots, strokes, uterine cancer, and cataracts (see Questions 5–8). Other side effects of tamoxifen are similar to the symptoms of menopause. The most common side effects are hot flashes and vaginal discharge.
984138 tn?1359813073 t have personal experience, but have read about these side effects of the med and have consistently read of these completes associated with this med. Good luck!
Avatar n tn I have seen this with a family member at first hand and am aware that at the moment in USA there are lawsuits going on with regards to the side-effects of Effexor (an SNRI) and a whole list of SSRI's. - read "Coming off Antidepressants" by Joseph Glenmullen. With the problems with Tamoxifen I found that I cut down on the hot flashes by taking the tablet in the evening.
Avatar m tn protected sex, diagnosed in by the country with gonorrhea 3 weeks after exposure, given a course of doxycycline 1.5gm, ciproflaxin 1gm, rifampicin1.2gm and levoflovaxin 0.75gm. Finished all courses in 7 days. Subsequently, after 2 weeks went for a blood test for STDs, they were unable to do urine test thus relying on antibodies detection. All came back negative; chlamydia and gonorrhea antibodies below stated standard.
Avatar f tn I have had crawling sensations a couple of times. Previously I had them in my throat. On last week I had them on the right side of my chin for a few days. I had to sweep my chin for several times, but nothing was there. My lyme is not sure.
Avatar n tn 3. Doxycycline is well known to cause gastrointestinal side effects of the sort you describe. Sleepless ness and fatigue are not typical side effects and may be due to your anxiety over the event.
Avatar n tn A couple pf months before i started losing hair i was on doxycycline 50mg twice a day for about two months as well as metformin for pcos. I also had my hair chemically straightened with bio ionic retex system. Although i have had the smoothing treatment before and never experienced any hair loss. I have stopped both medications and no longer blow dry or straighten myhair as i used to do it everyday.
Avatar f tn It is not unusual for individuals to have side effects when they begin using a retinol product. Most manufacturers recommend beginning with 2 applications a week for the first week or so depending on how your skin reacts. After that you can increase to every other night and then to every night as your skin adjusts. I have used several products with retinol and this has always been the case for me. I do not have sensitive skin.
Avatar f tn I am suffering from depression due to this which in reality before I used the exfoliating pads I never had anything on my skin. Horrible!!!
