A member asked:

Will i be able to lose the weight i've gained on doxycycline hyclate once i stop taking the medication?

Weight gain: I am unaware that doxycycline would cause weight gain. Actually it has more GI side effects that are usually associated with weight loss. Talk to your doctor or provider about your weight gain. I think it is likely related to something else.
