(24M) 6 days into Doxycycline and the side effects are brutal
POST UPDATE! Dermatologist said I need to stop them and he has now put me on (Minocycline)
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS! Thought I was alone in this <3
After waiting almost 7 months, I finally got to see my first dermatologist. He saw that I had a pretty severe set of flare-ups — 7 Stage 2–3 spots, all around my waistline.
He prescribed me 100mg of Doxycycline a day for the next 3 months. I've been taking it for 6 days now and holy shit... WTF are these side effects?!
- Horrible diarrhoea
- Nausea (it almost feels like a constant state of anxiety in my stomach)
- Complete loss of appetite
I'm going to call my dermatologist tomorrow and see if I can switch to a different medication, because there is absolutely no way I can deal with this for another 3 months.
Has anyone else had side effects this bad from Doxycycline? Did they eventually get better, or did you have to switch medications?
