Tetracycline can be very useful in the treatment of Borreliosis and co-infections like RMSF and Q-fever.

Every medication has side-effects, unfortunately. Intracranial hypertension is considered to be a rare side-effect. If you experience an adverse reaction that is severe it is wise to contact your doctor as soon as possible and discontinue the medication if needed.

This doesn't mean, however, that every patients will react the same. Other patients may never experience the same problem as you have and advising others to throw out their medication is, in my opinion, completely irresponsible.
