Topic: Could Doxy be causing the profound dizziness

I'd almost be feeling a little more normal if it wasn't for the profound dizziness. Nothing really helps it. Its vertigo I guess.

Is doxy/minocycline a KNOWN cause of dizziness?

I took doxy okay.

Minocycline and I don't mix.

True vertigo.

I was crawling on the floor as it (or I) were spinning.

I can't take mino.

Are you taking doxy or mino?

Hugs,

Geneal

minocycline is known to create vertigo and hearing problems for many who take it.

Ask to switch.

Are you taking both doxy and mino???

I take minocin...personally I would rather be a wobbler then have these invaders.

At any rate..NAC BLOCKED the ringing ears!

Vita E and um...um...Alpha L. Acid also protects you.

Everyone is different...if there's a question about whether your dizziness is an allergic reaction stop taking it and inform your pharm and doc...

I never got PROFOUND DIZZINESS from any of the medications including Doxy...I was ridding a bike all around town when I took it and ammoxy...

First treatment way back in 97...

Could be an exacerbation of a symptom or possibly infection of a chete in your inner ear...

Could be a few things...refer to your doc...

When I called my LLMD about the dizziness, they said that my hormone test results weren't back yet and to talk to the cardiologist about it; but its not from my heart.
