Doxycycline is a very common antibiotic and may be used for acne issues.

It can even help with eye styes, in very low doses.

Use of it was associated with a greatly reduced likelihood of schizophrenia.

that seems weird. Why would an antibiotic do this? They say it could be about information but there are far better things to take for inflammation. Antibiotics can save that your life, but there can also be a lot of negative health consequences. And current misuse of antibiotics is leading to resistance.

Doxycycline has a particular side effect with some patients:
It can produce a severe bout of Dry Mouth. All your mucous membranes can hold that parched feeling for a couple of hours. Drinking water can help but not prevent for the next time.

Doxcycline doesn’t work nearly as well as amoxicillin for sinus infections. Actually, it doesn’t seem to work at all.

I gotta wonder if they ever tested it on bi-polar 1 and 2 disorder?

Doxycycline is a very common antibiotic...

I use it exclusively for infected wounds like esp ingrown toe nail. Works the charm. Break open a capsule and just rub the yellow powder right on the wound. Pain reduces in minutes. Redness/swelling are noticeably less in 24 hours and completely gone in three days.
