Jason, UK Jul 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Can't really think of any... my skin hasn't improved at all! Cons: Have often felt nauseous after taking the tablet. Also the odd stomach ache after taking the tablet. Weirdly, I've also felt a lot more 'bloated'. Bottom Line: Been taking Doxycycline twice a day along with a adapalene gel (that I apply at night) prescribed by my doctor. I seen NO improvement in my skins whatsoever! Extremely frustrating... have now started using tea tree oil instead and my complexion has improved mildly... but still not great!

Pros: Clears about half up...works well. No side effects for me. Cons: Takes a month to a month an a half to kick in (long process). Can't drink milk 1-2 hours before or after taking it. Sun-reactive. Bottom Line: Works pretty well. I'm on 150mg once daily (morning or night). Drink a bottle of water with it (: Recommended: Yes Usage: Lauren has used this item for a few months.

Anonymous, Michigan Jul 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up acne within one week, no new breakouts! Cons: Sun sensitivity Bottom Line: My acne wasn't really bad but this cleared it up within one week of starting the medication. I haven't had one new breakout since I started taking it. I have noticed that it makes me more sun sensitive so I just make sure to wear sunscreen, no big deal. Other people have talked about nausea but I haven't had any of that, even at a 150mg dose. But overall, I would definitely give this a try it has worked wonders for me!

Jess, Adelaide, Australia Jul 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: none Cons: very sensitive to sun Bottom Line: I haven't noticed any improvement in my acne since starting doxycycline. I have severe fluctuations, some times my skin looks pimple free, others it it quite bad. However it was like that before doxycycline so i believe it to be ineffective.

Pros: Cleared up my acne very quickly...been using this medication in addition to Retin-a and has worked wonders. Cons: Sun sensitivity and get some stomach aches every now and then but over all Ive been able to tolerate it.

melissa, minnesota Jul 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: seems to be working ok, its only been a week Cons: super sensitive to sun, be careful some peeling Bottom Line: im also using this with epiduo at night, and clindamycin in the morning.. so im not sure which one is working..but it may be the whole combo that is. i still have about 6 pimples currently, but they are in their final stage and i have some scarring which i hope this will also take care of. i reccomend it, give it a try.

Anonymous, USA Jul 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared up Acne, prevents malaria Cons: caused anxiety/depression Bottom Line: I was on doxy for 2+ years from age 11-13. I eventually switched to minocycline, which was a better fit and provided a better solution for my moderate acne. While on it, I experienced major depression and anxiety but never realized that the medication could have been the cause. Last year I switched back to prevent malaria on a trip to africa and found myself feeling more anxious and depressed. Upon discontinuing the medication, all symptoms of anxiety and depression stopped. Depression is not listed as a reported side effect of doxycycline, but it was a distinct side effect for me and I wouldn't take it again for acne or malaria. The negative mood alteration was too huge a price to pay. Recommended: No Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
