SHANNON from WOODBRIDGE VA

Pros IT DEFINATELY WORKS. I STARTED GETTING ACNE AFTER I HAD MY SON AND THE DR. PUT IN AN IUD. AFTER THAN MY SKIN WENT TO HELL. SORRY FOR THE WORD BUT THATS WHAT HAPPEN. I HAVE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACNE BEFORE.
Cons I REALLY HAVE NONE OTHER THAN LARGE PILL AND IT WILL CAUSE NAUSEA IF YOU DON'T EAT BEFORE OR DURING THE TIME YOU TAKE IT
Bottom line IT REALLY WORKS BUT THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS TAKING AN ANTIBIOTIC FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME SO I AM DOING RESEACH ON THIS ANTIBIOTIC ONLY.
I USED PREVIOUSLY BUT HAD TO QUIT BECAUSE I HAD A BABY AND STARTED BACK A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND RIGHT NOW I AM NOT TAKING IT BUT AM STILL CONCERNED ABOUT MY SKIN SO I WILL PROBABLY TAKE IT FOR A WHILE QUIT GO BACK TO IT.ECT... MY FACE LOOKS GOOD RIGHT NOW BUT MY UPPER BACK HAS BROKE OUT AGAIN SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL HAVE TO START TAKING IT AGAIN. I ALSO HAVE A PICKING ISSUE SO I AM SURE THAT KEEPS ME FROM HEALING AS WELL. GOOD LUCK TO ALL.

Pros Excellent- I thought I had given up, but this really works! I'm taking half the pill a day (half pill morning, half-at night
Cons constipation is an issue if you're prescribed Double the dosage for severe acne, which is what I had- but it only lasts for couple days. This medication has barely any side-effects!
Bottom line Easy, VERY cheap (i pay zero with my insurance!!)-- I have school insurance..and bottom line- IT WORKS! so everyone, go ask your dermatologist for a prescription!

Pros Begins to work straight away. Basically stops any spots you get from turning red, and they heal very fast.
Cons Sometimes forgetting to take the pills because you forget you even suffer from acne with this stuff
Bottom line Trimethoprim works fast and very effective. The only thing I have ever taken or used that has made any difference. Been taking for three years and had no side effects. Came off it for a short while and skin gradually got worse again.
Price paid $15.00

Pros This medicine works! I have done everything. you name it i've done it...literally. My acne is under the skin so it's a little more complicated to heal but this medicine knocks it out.
Cons IF you miss a day of taking this medicine you will have a break-out. Makes mouth dry.
Bottom line I've tired everything under the sun for acne. it's hopeless to cure my acne with a ointment or a fash wash...won't happen this is my only choice in not having acne.
Price paid $12.00

February 24, 2008
Pros I guess it worked a little bit.
Cons Huge pill, nausea,
Bottom line Most people said this worked for them but it DID NOT work for me. I didn't have an allergic reaction but its almost like it didn't affect my skin at all. And it made me lose weight like crazy. Which shouldn't be a problem but for someone already being 20-30 pounds underweight it was quite an issue for me. You think for all those side effects it'd work like a mirace but nooope, not for me.
Price paid $4.00
