I was totally out of it in the evening. My husband couldn't deal with me when he got home. I've been getting nauseous and getting headaches for the week I've been taking the doxycycline, but last night I had the worst headache I've ever had (and I get migraines) and I started throwing up after I ate. I was alternating between tylenol and 800mg of advil, and I already take topamax, but it still felt like I was having an aneurysm. I can't remember the last time I felt that miserable...

I thought about going to the ER, but it said online that this side effect usually goes away if you stop taking the drug causing it. And IMHO the ER should be reserved for people who have emergencies like heart attacks or missing limbs.

I was afraid to take my regular 600mg pm dose of Seroquel last night because the extra 50mg seemed to set this off, but I took it because I know I need it. I was in bed when it started to mess me up and passed out pretty quickly.

I didn't take the antibiotic last night or this morning. I have a terrible headache, but it's not as bad as last night and I'm not out of it. I called the pharmacist this morning and she confirmed that it should get better the longer I'm off it, but to go to urgent care or the ER if it gets worse.

I'm not taking any extra seroquel as long as I'm having these headaches. The psych stuff has been taking precedence over the med stuff for a while, but right now the med stuff wins.
