Doxycycline HYC has been prescribed to my 16 year old daughter twice for Lyme disease. She had BAD reactions both times when taking 100mg ibid for 21 days. She experienced dizziness, severe headache, dyslexia, muscle tremors and shakiness throughout her body. This drug is the treatment of choice for Lyme disease, but it should NEVER be given to minors under the age of 18 or to anyone unable to effectively communicate what symptoms might be occurring. Also, it caused the spirochetes to morph into cysts and "hide out" until the doxy was out of the bloodstream, so it is only a "bandaid" on the infection, at best. As with all antibiotics, it caused candida overgrowth and with probiotics AFTER the 21 days of treatment, you MIGHT clear the candida from your system....not working for her, and it has been 60 days since taking the probiotics. I am really upset that two different doctors prescribed this poison for my child, and I will never give her ANY drug again without first researching ALL the possible side effects.
