Hello. My name is Hanna and I am 13 years old. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease when I was 11. I had to get surgery to drain out the fluids in my knee and I have had no other problems with it until this past winter. My knees starting to irritate me a lot more then usual. My mom put me on Amoxicillin to see if that would help. I took it for about 2 weeks and it didn't help at all so we went to the doctor and they prescribed me to Doxycycline. about 1 week in to taking Doxycycline, I started to notice weird changes. I felt very sad almost all the time and would cry for no reason. I also had a wild change in my appetite. (It was not my period that was making me like this) I am a very happy person, you see and I would never have any reason to feel the way that I did. I finished taking that dosage and again, it didn't help at all, but after I finished it I felt a whole lot better. I wasn't sad anymore and I didn't have any break downs and my appetite returned. This week I am being prescribed to another dosage of Doxycycline. Now for 1 month. I'm afraid it is going to be worse then last time. I have not told my mom about the way that this pill makes me feel and I'm afraid to tell her. Any advice??
