"I was prescribed to take this medication for 10 days due to my chlamydia infection,after I had suffered from bacterial prostatitis. Side effects very mild,mostly upset stomach.In comparison with cipro,which was the worst drug ever (stuffed up my muscles and I had problems concentrating,along with anxiety),this one did not give me so much discomfort. The thing is,it did not clear my infection. This is my day 2 after having to take it again,I still have the symptoms. The thing is,I was prescribed 3 doses of azithromicin as well,so I don t know what to do to get rid of this bacteria. I hope,this time it will work."

"Got Chlamydia. Took doxycycline twice a day for 7 days. Bad nausea. I got my period the week after. My symptoms were gone before day 7. After my period was over, my symptoms came back. Infection did not clear up. I am very disappointed."

"Finished my medication on Monday, and it was smooth and painless... Let me say, that you have to be a fool to take these antibiotics without eating a carbs loaded meal! If you do that, you won’t feel any side effects! I only had bubble guts, and that’s it. It’s been a week since I stopped and I have no symptoms of chlamydia, the frequency of urinating stopped a couple days ago. Eat, take your two pills [take the second about 6 hours after the first} and you’ll be fine."

"First day of taking doxy and metronidazole seemed fine I noticed I was feeling hotter then usual. By day 4 (I have a course of 14 days to take both medications) I had increasing headaches nausea BUT the most noticeable change was the deep depression I felt and also some confusion. Nervousness, trouble with my vision, shoulder and neck pain. I just feel absolutely horrible. I have a whole week worth of medication to go and I'm not willing to take anymore. My chlamydia had no symptoms. Going back to my drs to change this medication because I...just...CAN'T take it - its making me feel crazy! Worst experience with an antibiotic. Metronidazole is one thing. I've taken it before and been fine. Doxycycline added in is awful For me anyway."

"Caught chlamydia off my cheating boyfriend. Day one severe sciatic pain ...day 3 red itchy rash, no more discharge, feeling little bit depressed, but could be having chlamydia thats doing that? Am I the one in one million suffering this nerve pain like the test subjects?"

"This review is to help others, though we are all different in reactions it's always good to know Taking this medication and it seems to be working, after the third day my bloating and fatigue (from chlamydia) went away (luckily I caught the symptoms relatively early from the std). Taking it twice a day 100mg for 10 days (better to be safe). Side effects seem to have increased (nausea and stomach pains) because on my third day I was out on extreme heat/sun and forgot while outdoors that I was under antibiotics, whoops. Medicine is doing its job, though tackling symptoms since I loose my appetite... I wish everyone well"

"I was put on 100mg twice a day for a week. When I read the directions, they were very vague, so I did some more looking on Google and reached out to my doctor. After reading the reviews, I was pretty anxious since most of them were bad. First day, I took it on an empty stomach… HORRIBLE IDEA. I vomited, felt very shaky, and felt faint thirty minutes after taking it. When I took it again at night, I ate a piece of toast right before, and my god it saved me. Basically zero side effects now. I lost weight, cleared up my pimples, and feel pretty much the same. I have to wait to be retested to make sure it's gone, but overall, it was an okay experience."

"I had unprotected sex after my divorce (I know, wasn’t in a good mindset). A few days to a week later, I noticed symptoms, got scared and immediately got tested. It came back positive for chlamydia. I was proscribed Azithromycin (2 pills of 500 mg taken at the same time). After that, my symptoms got worse. After seven days I called the clinic and they prescribed me doxycycline (100 mg, 2X a day for 7 days). I take it at noon and midnight to keep it in my system at all times. After one pill I feel relief (however I’m still on my treatment, let’s hope this helps)."

"On first day out of 10 I took with water vomited 3 times and lots of nausea. I suggest you grab some saltines and ginger beer beforehand to prepare yourself for the nausea. Can't wait to see my reaction tomorrow."

"It is obviously proven to treat Chlamydia there isn't any question about that. It's the side effects that are the problem. For me it caused me severe depression that I never ever usually have. It has caused me to feel very emotionless and has completely deprived me of any ability for a genuine healthy sleeping pattern. It has caused me to throw up once (which started as violent shaking and a horrible nauseous feeling which ended in throwing up and going to sleep still shaking but no longer nauseous) and caused me nausea one more time (I didn't puke). Overall if there was any time in my life where my depression sunk to the absolute lowest then it'd be now. Just be aware"

"I started having pain over my ovaries and really bad smelling discharge so I decided to go to the clinic for an exam. Come to find out I have chlamydia. I was prescribed the medicine and within the same day of the first dosage I took everything cleared up from the discharge to the odor and pain. However, I experience very painful migraines and get nauseous when I take them. My doctor told me to eat a full meal before taking them and to avoid dairy. Not taking them on an empty stomach helps but I still get the headaches. Half way finished with it and can't wait to be done!"

"Got Chlamydia from someone who I thought I trusted. Major burning and lots of pus coming out of the tip of my penis. I'm taking 100mg/twice a day for 7 days. I'm literally just past the 24 hour mark of my 7 days and the pus has gone from white to clear and it doesn't hurt to pee anymore. I expect in a few days all symptoms will be gone and by day 7 I'll be all clear!"

"I just started the treatment for clamedia. Still 5 day to do. I am also scared to take shit like this into my body. But I'm good. Just a bit of burning and cant go to sun. Also make sure to stay up 1 -2 hour after taking these pills."

"I didn't have any symptoms of Chlamydia. I just went in for an exam and found out I had it after the test came back. Anyway I'm on day 5 hopefully everything is working. It makes me feel really sick. I've thrown it back up twice and every other time I've had to sleep it off because I get so nauseous."

"I have been diagnosed with Chlamydia but 'LGV' Chlamydia which is more severe. I have to take 100MG (twice daily) Doxycycline for 3 weeks. Even though I don't have any symptoms, I was told 3 weeks max would eradicate any remaining infection. I am currently on day 2, I don't mind the no sex for 3 weeks as long as my sexual health is good. This definitely has side effects. Mainly nausea, so remember to eat before or during a meal!!!"

"First of all I have really bad anxiety and I was scared to take this. But Dr said I had to For a week. First time I took it I freaked out really bad and had a panic attack which I don't really ever get. But I guess it was all up hill from there. Because my anxiety I really didn't want to take any pills. I try to live very clean eating organic and exercise so this pill kills good bacteria in your stomach and that has a huge effect on your mental state and increases anxiety and stress. I feel better after taking it. But I lost my appetite and I wasn't taking probiotics which is a must. . So in a week I lost close to 10 pounds. And my stress and anxiety was through the roof. My only feed back is take a lot of probiotics with this"

"I was prescribed doxy for 1 week twice a day. Currently on day 6 and all symptoms are gone I only had excessive discharge and weird smell. Just eat before you take the medicine took on empty stomach and threw up twice. Drink lots of water while on this medication. And eat a lot as well"

"I went for a routine check up with my Doctor, she called me, told me that I sadly had Chlamydia. I am on day 6 of 10. I didn't have any symptoms for this infection, so I can't say I notice a difference. I plan on getting tested again after I am done just to make sure. My only side effects are just a little nausea after taking them."

"I started taking the medication to clear up my Chlamydia infection which I had horrible stomach pains, fatigue, burning and pus. Was very nervous about it. But started on the Doxycycline 100 my twice a day and I'm noticing a difference. No nausea with the medication and I'm feeling better, but I still have 5 days to go. Feeling hopeful this will clear it up."

"Started taking doxycycline today, 1st pill this morning and had to rush for the toilet but after was feeling fine all day long! Until my 2nd tablet in the evening, wow what a different experience, I suffer badly with anxiety and this has me feeling very weird and reading these do not help at all! Pains, headaches, severe acid reflux, racing thoughts, panic attacks, just lying in bed trying to relax now, horrible drug, just praying it works after these 7 days of hell! 100% lesson has been learned here."

"I've been taking this antibiotic for a few days now. And just wondering if I'm totally screwed.. I took my first dose.. Made me vomit so I stopped taking it for a day or two.. Then started taking it again with food which helped. But because I missed doses idk if it will still keep working,?. I have to take 2 a day for 14 days.."

"I had a 7 day course of this antibiotic doxycycline, the only side effects I experienced were nausea (especially if taken on an empty stomach) and crippling heartburn first thing in the morning. It had woken me up everyday. Maybe I was taking it too late in the evening... would advise a full stomach and plenty of fluids for this medicine. Taking a retest in a week to check the chlamydia infection has gone."

"Got tested for std and came back positive will chlamydia. I was prescribed with 100mg to be taken twice daily for 7 days. It did take me a while to take them as I’m scared of vomit and didn’t want to feel sick. But I have to say since being on for the past 6 days I have had no sickness, no symptoms so far. I did feel a tiny bit nauseous on day 3 but that was because I took long to eat in the morning. Please guys don’t be scared to take them you’ll be fine just make sure you eat. (Hopefully this clears it up)"

"I’ve been taking doxycycline for 5 days and I feel terrible. When I started taking it I had barely any symptoms. My discharges smelled a little bit bad but in the past five days it has gotten way worse. I also puked in the morning and felt nauseous the whole day. I’m kind of scared that it won’t work because I puked 10 minutes after taking one of the pills."
