Question

I'm really worried because ever since I started taking doxycycline, I've been experiencing panic attacks and anxiety. Is this a known side effect of the medication? Could the doxycycline be causing these issues?

In rare cases, some individuals may experience psychiatric side effects such as anxiety or mood changes while taking doxycycline. If you are experiencing panic attacks after taking doxycycline, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider. The dosage of doxycycline and the duration of treatment may also play a role in any potential side effects.

Question

I'm a 25-year-old woman dealing with a lot of stress at work, and recently I've been feeling kind of breathless. I'm worried that my job might be affecting me. I'm curious, can anxiety actually make it hard to breathe? Would love some insights if possible.

Question

I'm feeling a bit stuck and could really use some advice. I've been dealing with anxiety for around nine months and have been on medication, gradually reducing the doses as my doctor advised. Everything was going okay until I had a panic attack ten days ago. My doctor then prescribed etizola beta 0.25 mg for ten daysdouble dose for the first five, then single. After switching to the single dose, I was handling the withdrawal symptoms fine, but for the last two days, I've needed to take my dose in the morning instead of the evening because the symptoms get worse then. I'm not sure if I should increase my dose? I'm in the process of changing doctors, and the new one won't be available until Monday, so I'm kind of in a bind for the next couple of days. What should I do?

Question

I'm currently taking Niftas 100mg and Voxate 200mg, and I'm having trouble sleeping at night. This also happened last month when I was on Ofloxacin. It's been three nights without much sleep now. What should I do?
