I took Doxycycl hyc which i think is generic for Vibramycin. My school (im 21 in college) nurse prescribed it for me because i had a bad flu-i dont remember feeling so nauseous last week-but my last 2days have been horrible-i have one day left but at least my flu was gone-it was my worst flu i have had too. good luck!

This medication has been awful for me to take. It makes me feel like vomiting, and gives me terrible headaches. I made the mistake of taking it before bed and couldnt swallow when I woke up plus nightmares of spiders all night. This morning I found sores all over my mouth and and lips.

Although I have been told it is rare within an hour of taking this medication I had a red rash all over my body, on stopping the medication it had gone by the next day leaving no ill effects.

The side effects were awful. About an hour after I took my first dose I got really nauseated. Soon after my mouth began to water and you know what came next. I looked at the side effects and contraindications and saw that it can contain sulfites. I have gotten I'll from sulfa drugs in the past and they are listed in my chart under allergies. So it's really the doctors fault for giving it to me in the first place. I'm also surprised that the pharmacist missed it too!!! So, I can't review the drug but just wanted to let patients know it contains sulfites and also soy. So, if you have problems with either don't take this drugRead More Read Less

I quit taking this medication three days before I was hit by diarrhea and terrific stomach pain. The oral surgeon is convinced it is not the medication. I am 99.9% sure that it is. I have missed more work from this than with the dental surgery. I will never take it again.

Ok guys so im a 25 year old man suffering from acne ever since I can remember. I have only been on this for about a week and it is doing amazing. I normally have at least 2-5 spots a week, so far NOTHING! I am so happy I have finally found a cure and I hope this doesnt diminish. I will keep you posted if it does.

I was put on Vibramycin for Bronchitis and have been nauseaous and vomiting ever since no matter what I do. I've been on it for 5 days. I had gotten sick with vomiting before the madicine so didn't think anything about it until now. Due to my cancer, chemo and brain aneurysms I had to stop taking it. Before this I hadn't vomited since I was pregnant in 1969. If you have to take this medicine, good luck.

Rough stuff.. Don't take unless absolutely necessary. Don't ever lay down after taking & I find piece of toast helps. Phenergan & Monistat also good idea. Have serious skin infection (not sure if Staph or MERSA yet) 1st day side efx nausea, vomiting, headache, lethargy, constipation, vaginal dryness. Also need to put same cream on infection site. Again, only take if absolutely necessary.

I have to take this for three weeks twice daily due to Lyme disease. I THINK the sympthoms from the Lyme is getting better, hard to tell because I feel so bad from taking the medication. Nausea is the worst side effect and occasional headaches are next. I'm gonna touch it out and will report back at the end of my run.

My acne was non-stop. I've been using this for 36 hours so far and my complesxion is clearing up. It's definitely worth the nausea and headache side effects. My complexion is also evening out because I've been using a 10% glycolic smoothing cream along with the vibramycin.

At first, I experienced extremely severe nausea. However, I found that if you take it just as you are going to bed, there is no nausea. It has really worked well for clearing up my acne. Which I never had until i got into my late 20's. Within a week of using this combined with topical Retin A, I have received multiple compliments on my clear skin.

I was on this antibiotic for a sinus infection. I took it for a week and felt nauseated everyday. I ended up in cold sweats, stomach pains, and eventually vomiting twice. I discontinued taking this medication and went back to the doctor since my sinus problems had progressively gotten worse. I was prescribed Levaquin today. If you're taking this medication, make sure to eat before you take it. You still might feel kind of "funny" or nauseated, but it should help prevent the vomiting and cold sweats. I would not use this medication again since it didn't help my infection at all and it made me sick all day.Read More Read Less

Used for bronchitis for 10days; infection recurred app. 2 wk.after ending this dosage. Now on a 5 day course. Let's hope it works. I am quite sensitive to many antibiotics so treatment can be somewhat difficult for my provider.
