I used it for one month and my acne get progressively worse. I discontinued use and my acne went back to my normal level. This product was no help at all. Plus it gave me heart burn.

Been on just about everything, found that this worked the best, does take a little while, triouble is when you run out of the dose what to do? do you risk it or go back for more? i hate taken drugs, the trouble is your resistance builds up and you have to move onto the next drug! I hate everything about acne!

I did not think it would work. It took 6-8 weeks and then suddenly BAM my acne was clear 100% But after a few months I started feeling funny...more nervous, anxious, just kind of wierd...so I stopped taking pill then acne came back really bad so went back on...acne is being kept at bay...but i still feel funny and paranoid...I hate taking and drug...but I hate even more having acne :(

Well for about 15 months 200mg daily doxycycline kept me really 100% clear along with benzamycin. When I eventually got back on both products (around 18 months later) it was nowhere near as good so I guess resistance does happen eventually, but at first they gave completely zapped my acne

Great antibiotic to stop breakouts. My dose was 100mg a day, and I had to eat something before I took it. If I hadn't, I regurgitated. I did use it while on topicals.
