DOXYCYCLINE HYCLATE

that is the antibiotic they put my James on. He has been sick for over 2 months so that is what they tried this time. (he still had a MILD infection) A little warning would have been nice. he kept getting worse and worse everyday since being on it!!!!!

this is a link to a review page of the medicine.

If you want to read it it will show he is not the only one who experienced...

Headache, dizziness, lethargy, ringing in ears, swollen hands, nausea, fatigue, depression, anxiety, muscle weakness, insomnia and diarrhea...

I could keep going but you get the idea. This morning he could not lift his hands to feed himself. that's when we looked it up. He HAD 2 more pills to take, they will go in the trash!

I am upset that she would prescribe something with these KNOWN side effects with no warning. Why something THIS strong for a mild infection? GRRRRRR
