i've been on doxycycline for a little over 2 weeks now (100mg 2x daily) for lyme disease...about a week ago i started getting sick with what i believe is the flu (fever, chills, nightsweats, sore throat, nasal congestion, headaches, body aches, etc)..it's been 7 days of it with no end in sight...the headache is really debilitating...can i take a percocet for the headache while on the doxy? Also, is it ok to treat this with anything else (like herbs...echinasia, zinc, airborne, etc.)...I need SOMETHING (advil isn't touching it)

Acne Treatment?
Is this Antibiotic commonly used to treat acne in Teens and Others? Just curious because it states skin generically and I did not see Acne listed in used for category. I understand that Acne is caused by bacteria so is that why? And from experience how well has it been documented for success? I happened to be reading newsletter & noticed this Drug name and realized that this is what my son has been taking for mos. now.Then I begin reading Forum's and was startled by how common side affects seem to be. My son has had what he call's heartburn , upset stomach, stomach pain, he doesn't know quite how to describe. What is even more startling He had his Appendix removed in Feb. They said he had alll symptoms of Appendicitis but, no abnormal blood count which they also said is not usually the case. Even more I have not seen Acne improve at all and in fact have had quite a few big outbreaks. I had just mentioned to him last night that if he felt it wasn't working not to take it anymore. Bazaar!!!!!!! What a coincidence
