| Pros | It's actually working |
|---|---|
| Cons | None, yet |
| Bottom line | I've been taking this for about four weeks and so far, so good. My skin hasn't gotten worse and is appearing less red. I am on 100mg twice a day. (I started 100mg once a day and about a week ago my doctor moved me up to twice a day). I was surprised to see so many people posting that they need to take this medication with food. My pamplet instructs me that for best results this should be taken on an empty stomach. I have been taking it just as directed, at the same time right when I wake up in the morning. I can't recommend this product to any one yet. I haven't been on it long enough. |

| Pros | It did work on my skin. It has been noticeably smoother after like 2-3 weeks usage. I'm still on it, and it's lessened more and more. Now I have scars and I hope it removes those too. |
|---|---|
| Cons | MAJOR stomache aches after a while. They really hurt after a while. Though it could be the other painkillers I take because I just had oral surgery. But stomach aches have been worse after taking those extra painkillers. |
| Bottom line | Overall, it's pretty good. Cost me about $60 for... 60 pills. Wonder if it's worth it with all the stomach aches. I still recommend it. |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | I used Doxacycline 2 years ago for 3 months and it was like a miracle. It completely got rid of my acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It has now been 2 years and my acne is back since I am no longer on birth control. It also makes my skin sun sensitive. |
| Bottom line | I am going to go back on Doxacycline and am hoping for 2 more good years! If I can take this medication for 3 months and have clear skin for 2 years it is worth it! |

| Pros | Works very well. Once you find out what time you should take it. Take it at that time exactly and keep it in your system. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes skin very burn sensitive even long time after quitting. MAKE SURE TO DRINK WITH WATER. WASH IT DOWN. YOU CAN GET AN ULCER! |
| Bottom line | Clears acne but youll get burns. I dont know... |
| Recommended | Yes |

| Pros | None!!! It makes NO difference, even after months of use. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Women, beware!! I never got a vaginal yeast infection till I used this antibiotic. It was a very difficult infection to get rid of. Also, it made my skin very sun sensitive even though my skin is tan. |
| Bottom line | This stuff is worthless. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | Works for a little while... |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can't take without food, can't take with dairy, have to take twice a day, can't tan |
| Bottom line | I had been on Doxy since Dec. (around 3 months), in conjunction with micro derm. After about 6 weeks it was working great, and now my face is worse it seems (having stopped the micro after about 5 or 6 treatments). So, now the only thing I'm using is Benz. Perox. 10%. I guess I built up an immunity to the doxy I'm not sure. All I know is zits suck!! It's so stressful! |

| Pros | generic doxycycline is VERY cheap, works pretty quickly for the duration that I've taken it |
|---|---|
| Cons | Once you stop taking it, it stops working (obviously), and there are cons to being on long term antibiotic therapy. Increases sun sensitivity, also. |
| Bottom line | I initially used doxy in conjunction with generic retin-a to clear up moderate acne. The combo leaves you very sun-sensitive, but clears zits like a dream. After 30 days, I stopped doxy and just used retin-a to maintain results, although I will get my doxy scrip refilled if I need to get rid of a flare up. It is very effective, cheap, and doesn't have many side effects (at least, it doesn't for me) |

| Pros | cleared up cysts big time |
|---|---|
| Cons | must take with food and water or else suffer the consequences |
| Bottom line | i've been on this medication since december...so far pretty good results, not 100%, but a huge improvement. i'm kinda bummed now reading all the other ratings that after 4-6 months the acne comes back..i'm reaching that deadline, hope i can be spared. |

| Pros | Works very well. Clears the skin in a week. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The acne comes back within a week or so after I stop taking it. You feel queasy when taken on an empty stomach. |
| Bottom line | Goo product. Much better any of the other topicals or orals i have used. |

| Bottom line | ive been on doxy for about 2 weeks now, at first i noticed more redness to my problem areas, and broke out a little on my chest, but it hasn't really made my acne drastically worse. i think people just need to keep on taking the full pescription, becuase in order for it to get better it needs to get worse beofre it can. my doc sed i shud notice a difference after about 2 months so am just waiting till then. will try and update wen i get there. antibiotics are different for everyone, if it doesnt suit you, dont worry just keep trying till you find something that does. good luck to everyone:) |
