I took doxycycline for 2 months, stopped for about a year and a half and its still draining me.

My energy and motivation have gone way down and i'm finding it hard to socialize. I'm hoping you

guys have some insight on what sort of blood test can determine whats hurting my stomach, what

specifically do i ask my doctor to look for? How can i treat it. I'm still using probiotics and they make

me bloat like crazy, and i find it hard to track/feel the benefits of it in my own stomach recovery

im not an expert but i have read online that antibioticsstrip the gut of good bactieria, which could intern causes other problems.

i, like many people here have used antibiotics in the past including doxycycline.. i found it didnt do much for me. i also have had mild depression many years ago but i dont think that was due to doxycycline - lack of socializing, bad diet, no exercise, being in doors all day etc will greatly worsen your mood.

do some research on:
antibiotics & gut bacteria
depression / low mood.
