HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is understandable to be concerned about these effects but it would be best to speak to your doctor before discontinuing it so that a substitute can be given if needed.
It is ok to stop suddenly. Tapering is needed with medications that can cause dependence or associated with withdrawal symptoms.
This is not the case for doxycycline.
I hope this helps
