hey guys

After asking for help on here a wile back, i was told to try some Minocycline for my acne. I have been on it now for just under 5 mounths and it has worked wonders for me. No more am i imbaresed at my skin and i am able to socilise with people now. I have realy clear skin and age about 1 spot a week which is great.
I am just writing this because i know there are people out there that have tryed almost everything and are really depresed. I know how you feel and i wish there was no acne in the world.
All i would say is stick in there and got give up. I did take my pills everyday at the same time without having any food for 2 hours so i made sure it worked, and i only took a small amout which was 50mg per 24h and it worked.

please dont give up......

Did you have an initial breakout using minocycline?

When i started off on my minocycline i didn't have any initial break outs, it just took a few weeks for me to see significant results. Have been taking it ever since

hi craig. i just read your post and wanted to ask you about your minocyclin.

my dr just prescribed it to me as i've tried everything else. the next step for me is accutane which i hope i don't have to take.

i'm taking 100mgs 2x a day in am and pm. i've only been on it a couple of days. how long did you have to take it before you started noticing your skin improving and what kind of regimen are or were you using while on the medication?

thanks.

I know when i started taking it i saw results within the first week, i was no longer getting new pimples and the ones i had were starting to go away!! I was taking it 2x daily, but no regimen for me, it was great, i would only take my nightly shower and wash my face with water, then i would apply my differin and go to sleep. I would just wake up and brush my teeth and that was it. But the about 7 months into having clear skin it my acne started to return slowly but surely!! so i try to warn anyone going on this, if it works, you might just see temporary results, but you never know, also it wont come back half as bad. good luck!!

Mino's been working great for me when I actually remember to take it.

I've been on 100mg a day on and off when I remember but once this bottles empty I've only got one more refill then I'll have to go ask for more.
