Has anyone taken Doxycycline and had no reactions?

Asked by tan253 (2958points) August 13th, 2018

Hi guys,
I don’t know if Fluther will allow this question.
But I’m on Doxy for a sinus infection and Im freaking out a little bit as I’ve been reading intracranial pressure or SJS etc… I shouldnt have read about it but now I’m quietly freaking out and I have a heart palpitations! Love to here if you were fine on it!
Thank you.

It is listed on the World Health organization’s list of essential medicines and is the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. (Per Wikipedia). But since you have read up on this, you already knew that. I looked up the side effects and did not see the one you list, so it must be some obscure side effect that rarely ever happens. I was on it for about a year for acne when I was in my 20’s. I had absolutely no side effects at all.

@tan253 A word of advice particularly for you: Don’t read about possible side effects.

I took it for several weeks last year, no bad reactions at all. It did what is supposed to do,

It gives me bad stomach aches, and usually diarrhea. Most antibiotics do though. For me…

Yeah thanks guys, I feel better today so I need to keep taking it, 6 weeks of congestion and three days after antibiotics most of it is gone, pretty amazing, and yes I need to stop googling side effects! OMG… OCD.
