When antibiotics wear off, is it something that happens suddenly or gradually? By suddenly i mean over a few days will loads of spots appear. Just from experience of people who'se antibiotics have worn off.

Thanks

(Im not minocycline btw and had more pimples than the whole time ive been on minocycline but they come and go so im not sure if ive become immune or if im allergic to something ive added to my diet etc.)

For me it was suddenly. When acne became resistant to the doxy I was taking, I developed my first breakout over the next few days and didn't improve.

Well for me thats good news. Although its unfortunate for u that the antibiotics didnt last longer.

I had one breakout (nothing awful) about 1.5 weeks ago but it improved and since then ive had a few pimples but nothing harsh.

Thanks for the reply..

It was sudden for me.
Like you, my skin is worse now that i've been on antibiotics than it was before i started taking them. I would never recommend antibiotics to anyone; complete waste of tiime. the negative side effects outweighed the positive.

No i think you misunderstood...my skin is almost fine. By the sounds of things im just having a blip for some reason. Presumably because im using a new product or ate something that im allergic to (eg milk breaks me out).

The antibiotics are fine for me and im so grateful for them. Im healthy person so hopefully they wont have adverse effects on other areas of my body. I hope they work until i grow out of spots..

Antibiotics are also fine for me. I took doxy for about 5 years and it held me on with gorgeous skin during those years.

I would say the antibiotic last longer enough for me lol though I hated the breakout that came after it finally failed. Doxy was definetely not a waste of time for me.
