You clear me some things, and I am really grateful for it... yet I have only one question

I am 15 years old, and I was prescribed to eat one pill of doxycyline 100mg a day for a month. After the month, he now told me to take one pill every two days, and consequently after the breakouts stops. Right, now I don't think it's working at all, but the amount of acne I have nowadays is much less than before.

P.S: I have a delicate stomach, plus inherited atopy

Im on minocycline once day, I just read on FAQ it's rarely related to developemenr of lupus. Should someone with lupus NOT take minocycline?
Background - I have reynauds phenomenon and positive ANA. Along with a laundry list of non-serious symptoms. I was not diagnosed with lupus(good) but told it was highly suspected and should treat myself as someone with a dx. This happend years ago and haven't had incidnce since(knock on wood)

I notice that a 'sore throat' is a side effect of Minocycline. And I have a sore throat, I have for about two days. I've been on 2x 50mg of Minocycline a day since the 2nd of February. I wonder if it is caused by the Minocycline or if I'm just sick? I don't know.

Thank you for posting this! I am on day 10 of solodyn 65mg and experiencing that initial breakout ughh! But it was good to see that that can happen and is common, that will help me stick with this!

i have a question. about a year ago i was on tetrycycline and it worked wonderfully for me but then after awhile it wore off. i was thinking of taking some anti biotics to fix my skin once more but was wondering if my immunity to tetrycycline would still remain and prevent minocycline and doxy working on me.
