Doxycycline (Antibiotic) Reviews

I am using doxycycline with tazorac and its great. I broke out from tazorac and the doxyn cleared it up right away. One thing I suggest is using glycolic acid with ALL regimens. I seriously do not understand why its not used more by doctors. You never get an intolerance if you use it every other month. Revive glycolic acid is best!!

Im on a low dose and when i first started taking it like many people found it cleared my acne almost completely. Bad news it that six months latr it isnt as effective and now i i have only slightly less acne than i did before. I was sick once after taking on an empty stomach so i recomend some food b4 taking. I havn't experienced anxiety or depression from the pills but i take anti-depressives anyway so im not the best person to tell.. doxycycline is at its most effective in the short term.

I've taken it for about 3 months at a time and then go off of it again because I can't see any results, but my dermatologist keeps putting on a different variety--we'll see.

Tablets are expensive 30 for 60$....100 mgs....feel depressed with headaches....clearing up a little after 1 mnth....still getting new ones...

I've been on Doxycycline for 4 weeks now and it is finally starting to work pretty well. I have also been getting facials for the past 4 weeks and using A TON of stuff for the face : a special face wash (Estrada), bacterial lotion (Karon), special sunscreen for the day (Neostrata) and Retinol Microsponge at night. I've also used a mask (Glycol)and this copper spray kept in the fridge (Complex Cu3) to close my pores after cleansing. In all my acne treatment has cost me $ 500, but he Doxycycline pills are only $15.00 with prescription. Doxycycline is very annoying in the fact that you can't take it with milk or milk products, so I find it hard to find a good time to take the meds. If you take it with milk/milk products it binds with the milk and is not absorbed by your body. This medicine also gave me a yeast infection (ouch!) but it's not as bad as the side effects from Accutane I have read about.

ive been taking it for 3 weeks with retin a(8 weeks) and have barely seen any improvement with the aid of doxycycline. retin a has shown no improvement either, it just made my face a lot worse and doesnt begin "improving" as it said it would after the 6th week.

I took doxcycline an after 3 weeks I had no acne but now 6 months later it is coming back

I originally took this medaication with a topical cream. It improved the condition of my skin but was taking forever(4 months) so i stopped with the creams and stuck with the 100mg capsule. Acne is almost 100% gone since then (~2 weeks)

Doxy made me very sick even if I ate before hand. I was never able to take it long enough to see results.

I used to throw up from it, I took it for two years. Then I think I may have built up a tolerance because my acne came back after taking it for the first year. It helps alittle, but not that much. Use dans regimen
