Doxycycline (Antibiotic) Reviews

this stuff did not work for me at all. it did absolutely nothing for me, not even give me stomach problems. come on now, it should do something. pretty worthless if you ask me.

If you suffer from severe acne, Accutane is the best solution. My brother had great results as have many others. There is the potential for side effects, but you only need to be treated for a limited period of time. Ask your dermo about it!

I came very close to quitting Doxy, but I stuck with it and I'm glad. It does take time and patience. I'm on my sixth week, and my skin has cleared up significantly. I noticed an improvement in the first 3 weeks (which is a long time when you've got cystic acne). I think the problem with taking antibiotics in the past, was the fact that I didn't give it enough time. Just stick with it. Also, make sure to eat when you take Doxy, otherwise you will feel like vomiting within the first 10-15 minutes (seriously).
I'm also back on a birth control pill (7 weeks), and that, I believe, has balanced my hormones again. I hope to be off Doxy in 2 weeks.

BEWARE of Doxycycline...IT MAKES my acne so much worse. Have "sunburnt" patches on foreheads, red flushes, and breaking out into many tiny bumps which look like whiteheads. DISARSTEROUS!

Also stomach upsets, slight diarrhoea, nausea, cramps, headache, chest pains...........etc...

Have stopped doxy and will NEVER EVER take it again. Now on Dan's REGIME....and feels it's working :)

I have been taking Doxycycline for over a month now and have seen no improvement in my acne. I am frustrated and I am going back to my dermatologist to try something else.

I just started taking Doxycycline tonight. 5 hours ago, to be exact. I got a glass of water, drank it, filled it up, and took the pill. I used Cetaphil Moisturizing soap and "Persa" cream for the more rough areas. Then I got some "Soup at Hand".

This stuff is amazing -- after 5 hours my acne is already going away. I've used Oxy, Proactiv, and all that other stuff that works very small and takes days at least to work and this Doxycycline is amazing. Both my parents are doctors as well, and my father wrote the perscription so I think its at least pretty safe now.

And so that I know it is indeed the pill that is causing this to happen, I had some unsightly back acne 5 hours ago. Its gone. :o

im starting it now u guys make me not want to take it since you said theres so many stomach problems

It clears up your acne real good, yet it is pretty heavy on the stomach. Not worse than eating a spicy burrito, so I guess its worth it.

I went back and forth between this and Tetracycline for years, it was horrible, my body became dependant on antibiotics and my immune system was never the same. There haven't been good studies on this, don't do it!!!!

Read the book" The yeast connection"

I had moderate acne but had spent 2 years doing everything and anything to clear it up. I was originally on Tetracyline which worked well but is rather inconvient because of the times it has to be taken. This is much more conveniant because it's twice a day with meals. All on it's own it does a decent job of clearing up larger blemishes, but not much for smaller bumps. When i combined it with Differin at night and Benzoyl peroxide gel in the morning it was phenomenal. I use a cetaphil wash and moisturizer and it is excellent. It took a little time to be really clear but i saw results immediatly. I highly recommend it.
