Depression Anxiety No Appetite

Posted over a year ago

I took doxy for 14 days for lymes and on day 6 I disconnected from reality. I am a 23 year old, 210 lb power lifter so I require at least 2 to 3k calories a day. I've been off of it for 8 days and have had no Appetite. And when I do eat the food leaves my body considerably fast. I consume about 600 calories a day now. How long will this last? I've been depressed, fatigued, working out puts me in a catabolic state. I feel like I have cancer or am dying of a debilitating disease. My girlfriend is out of town and I feel mentally Ill. Is it me or am I not consuming enough carbs? I'm lost and confused. Any help is appreciated and god bless.

Concernedperson - I am taking Doxy and have been on it for 1 day and because I had to take it on an empty stomach, I vomited. This seems like powerful stuff. I will pray for you. I am sorry that you are going through this. But, I have some thoughts: Have you talked to the doctor who prescribed the doxy? Does he or she know that you are having these difficulties? Since that person prescribed doxy, they should be helping you now. Also, sometimes talking to a pharmacist about medication is better than talking to your doctor, because quite frankly, they know more about meds than doctors do. So, call your pharmacist for assistance. Don't suffer alone. The doctor prescribed and has a responsibility to you and the pharmacist also has a responsibility to help you. Also, most medical people want to help. I'll pray. Hope you feel better.

Doxy_sux - Shambo - hang in there mate. I know EXACTLY what you're going through. i'm 25yo male, 110kg also did a lot of gym work before taking this crap. I ended up in the hospital thinking I was on the way out just as you did. I've been off it for 8 weeks and still have anxiety/depression although it's not as intense. Furthermore, I was on it for 8 weeks so you should hopefully start feeling better sooner. I've spoken with enough people to know what this crap does, so just tell yourself it's the drug, ease up on the gym for a while and let your body recover. I can take a few months, as I've just learned. Be patient and all the best. I know how crazy/scary it comes on.

Bawesome - Also this could be a side effect of the meds AND/or the effects of killing the Lyme which is called die off. Look it up. Iit's pretty intense but you gotta kill the Lyme. Hang in there don't give up!
