I’m 18(M) and recently got put onto a 14 days course or cipro and doxy because I was diagnosed with Epididymitis, Worst decision ever. I peed in a urine sample and it came back negative no infections did a blood test no tumour markers or anything alarming, yet got told to take these antibiotics and NOT to skip any day, 2 500mg of cipro and 2 100mg of doxy a day, each day jt felt like my body is just melting and breaking new pains in places i never knew I could feel pain. The back of my leg feeling extremely tight like 1 wrong move and it’s my ACL GONE.

To be honest it feels like these antibiotics haven’t done anything I’m still experiencing pain in my testicle started in my left now sits right every now and again, I feel so ass 24/7 my vision has went to poo and my head feels so foggy all the time, I’ve honestly thought I’ve been going insane for the past 9 days until I saw a user post on her that 1 pill of doxy has destroyed him for over 10 years. Before all of this I was such a healthy young man going gym benching 120kg and going on runs almost all the time now I feel like I can’t socialise without being in some sort of agony.

For anyone who is being prescribed cipro please don’t take it unless you have been properly diagnosed with an infection it’s destroyed my body I’ve lost so much of my muscle I look like a twig

Also wanted to add my dosages I took before I stopped because it was killing my body

Cipro I took 18pills of 500mg
Doxy 20-100mg

It’s currently day 5 of no weed day 6 no nicotine.
I quit in the first place because I recently was out with some friends smoking weed as usual and I had a minor Epididymitis developing(I didn’t know at the time) I still have it, we are all sitting on this bench passing the joint around and I take 4 pulls. HOLYYYY SHIT instantly just started zooming in like never before my first ever anxiety or panick attack whatever it was, my head went heavy I got neasous and I just couldn’t stop hyper fixating on my balls because of the inflammation. Anyways I’ve never been to A&E 4 times in the past week due to really bad health anxiety I’ve never ever had thinking that my testicles are going to twist and I’m going to have to get surgery, this has resulted in me waking up in the middle of the night after about 30-1hr of sleep terrified shaking. I’m starting to think that this isn’t only just nicotine anymore it’s really driving me insane.

I also forgot to add that I’m also on two antibiotics at a time and my weight has plummeted a solid 9.6lb in the span of 4 days, I’m so scared that I’ve myself get a blood test. The thing that makes this so scary is that I’ve been vaping for a good 4/5 years and I’m only 18 so god knows what’s wrong with my body, I’ve also started experiencing weird feelings in my left side making me panick about my kidneys, This all has really put me off smoking and vaping in general but it’s been 6 whole days and I’m not feeling better at all I still can’t sleep my jaw feels weaker by the day and it feels like my life is soon to end but I don’t want that.
