Hi guys. I just wanted to tell you that I finished my 30 day round of doxycycline a couple of weeks ago. Sadly to say it did not work for my bad breath at all. In fact, it is as if I didn't take it in the first place. But I am not surprised.
However, for a while whenever I used to sweat underneath my breasts (which are fairly large) the perspiration underneath would smell like vinegar. Now I do not seem to have this problem. Sorry if that was too much information but it may help someone else on this forum... And I am not writing this to discourage people from using doxycycline because my cure is not necessarily everybody else's. If you ever have to take it, it may work for you, just do not give up hope. I am just thankful that it has not made any of my bodily odors worse as far as I can see because I have read horror stories of people attributing the use of antibiotics as the reason why they attained body odor or bad breath in the first place.

Doxycycline does work if you know how to prepare it. Break half of a doxycycline capsule in your mouth and swish around with saliva for two minutes then swallow. Pop a breath mint afterwards to get rid of the taste. The taste is horrible but its worth it since I have battle this probelm for over 25 years. After one day, my tongue was no longer white and orange. Today is only my second day but I already see a difference. Don't do this before or after eating. Wait at least two hours before and after. I'm sure most doctor with tell you not to do this but I have been to over twenty doctors and no one seems to know that the hell to do. Lets just say this is my own experiment. There are studies that suggest doxycycline is effective in slowing the growth of mouth bacteria.
in my opinion a treatment for mouth bacteria in the first way is just a symptomatic treatment.
you might decrease the bacteria temporary but as long as there is a reason that will cause this "bad"bacteria to be set in good condition it might grow back after you stop the medication or in the worst way somehow make them resistent against your treatment.
did you check the reasons that might cause your tongue coating like candida, teeth/gum problems, tonsilstones etc?
