Just curious if anyone has experienced taste side effects to doxycycline?

Specifically, horrible taste of glue in the mouth. Almost like licking 100 stamps or something like that.

Not that we lick stamps anymore.

Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken--

Yep doxi can put a bad taste in mouth-
Cotton mouth also--

Drink More warm tea or water -

Biaxian is the worst for me -
I eat a Jolly Rancher hard candy
and it Really Helps

The Blue ones will turn your tongue
blue so dont eat those --

You can eat a few soda crackers to
make doxi easier on your stomach --Jay--

I don't think I've had glue mouth [Smile]

But it DID cause me to feel like the blood in my hands was very very hot. And anyone who held my hand could feel that my hands were really hot too.

Weird side effect..

I didn't notice any side effects from IV doxy, but I found a couple months later that my liver enzymes were significantly raised, prompting a liver biopsy, which showed some liver scarring but nothing real serious according to the doctors. The liver enzymes were lowered back to normal eventually (perhaps due to livatone plus supplement). I can't be 100% sure the enzymes spike was related to the IV doxy but I am 99% sure because I can't think of any other reason.
