doxycycline
I have been on doxycycline an antibiotic for about 5 days and i seem to be feeling very anxious and panic like. Does anyone know if this can cause these symptoms. I am also on 25mg of zoloft. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Call your pharmacist and ask about this, he will know. I've never heard of it causing anxiety, but you never know. It may also just be coincidental that your Zoloft is not working as well and you may need the dosage tweaked. If your pharmacist says "no" contact your prescribing doctor for the Zoloft and go from there. Take care.
Not sure I am adding anything of value to mammo's excellent post, but I have had to take doxycycline for Rosacea and am alway uptight when it is suggested, as I very often get serious diarrhea from antibiotics.
For me, then, anxiety is always high when an antibiotic is prescribed. Phobic about the medicine. I never experienced anxiety from this medication. I think I may have been on an SSRI a few times when doxicycline was recommended....
Do follow up on mammo's advice. Good luck!
