life help: doxycycl hyc 100mg has basicaly ruined my life! - Help.com

**** me this conversation is boring. Id rather scratch my nose off.

after taking pill ended up with pneumonia and went to hospital. what are the side effects and is there some connection to penicillin or someone who is allergic to penicillin?

This post needs to be taken off. Someone seriously looking for information on this medication could be misled. I am sorry this young lady had a bad day but it was not the medications fault. There is not shame in taking a pill to treat acne or any other problems one may diagnosed with. People use the internet to find out more about their conditions and medications.

you dumb ***** or crazy dumb ***** i have taken it didint hurt me

I was directed here because I was looking for real information about this medication.

What I found was more like MySpace whining then Health and Drug information. This entire post should be deleted.

You’re not supposed to eat for 1 hour before or 2 hours after eating this… I’m on it right now… and yes having an empty stomach does make me sick, but I want it to work the way it’s supposed to, so I follow the instructions anyway.

my pills are a light blue caplet. the pills upsset my stomach and i always seem to get a headache.

Alright, to one of the posts above, you should NOT eat yogurt while on these type of meds to prevent yeast infections. Yogurt might actually make it more likely. By the way, WTF was the pill in your pocket for, & in gym class of all places?

i agree, please remove the post because it mislead me into thinking doxy was bad.

There are a few questionable replies I’ve seen on here and my Doctor just prescribed Doxycycl HYC for a urinary tract infection. The directions are that you should eat a snack or small meal with the medication if you find it bothers your stomach. Yogurt may be fine in helping to rid you of a yeast infection when taking an antibiotic, but it says also to not take any dairy products 2 hours before or 2 hours after you take the antibiotic.
In comment to the student regarding the pill, always check with the school before hand with a note from your doctor before bringing any medication to school with you. Nuff said!

I too, was looking to get some real information on this drug and was scared to death when I read the title of this post. I have been taking it for 7 days now so for about 30 seconds I was terrified. This should be deleted, it’s ridiculous.

Whiny little high school kids… Geez. It clearly states on there that it may make you nauseous, so eat a small snack with it. And you shouldn’t be carrying pills around in your pocket in school anyway. You only have to take these pills twice a day. Morning and night. No need to even BRING them to school.
This is my second day on em, and I’m taking another prescription with them. Same doc gave em to me. So guess they’re okay together. I just feel a little loopy. heh

sometimes amoxicillin can be used instead of doxy depending on the problem it’s needed for ask your doctor. also always eat with it. It can make you sick on an empty stomach.

If you rad the insert for doxy, taking dairy products within two hours of taking a pill reduces or eliminates its effectiveness. On the other hand, you need to drink A LOT of water when taking the pill. At least 8 oz, but more would be better. Both before and after the pill.

Once again, eating yogurt can INCREASE the risk of getting a yeast infection! If eaten in large amounts, yeh people, so listen, I’m a nurse. Second, put the **** pill in a container, not loose in your pocket, that’s icky. Third, Doubtmenow is right on one thing for sure, you didn’t even need to bring the pill to school. You created this situation because you’re prolly one of those girls that wants people to know she’s on meds to get attention. Now you want to whine about some thing that’s entirely your own fault. Go to hell little girl.
