Anonymous, Boston Mar 29th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked wonders for me. Cleared up all my cystic acne really fast. I guess I'm lucky in that I didn't experience any side effects. Cons: Acne comes back if you stop using it. Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone, but reading some of the other posts here,I guess you should be aware that there are risks involved. Recommended: Yes Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Mike, Ontario, Canada Mar 28th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Worked pretty well for the first couple of weeks, I saw a reduction in the amount of acne I had, and all seemed well. Didn't notice any side effects, that I'm aware of. Cons: After about 14 months of using this medication you notice that after a while that it becomes inaffective, I even increased the dosage and still nothing. I'm starting to think that its making it worse. Bottom Line: Definetly not a long turn solution, it works well for a while but after that you gotta find something else. Recommended: Yes Usage: Mike has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 3.99 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anon, New York, NY Mar 27th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: helped with overall redness, less breakouts, skin def. feels better Cons: headaches, dizziness, found that it once triggered an anxiety attack but am not certain that this is what caused it, mild indigestion Bottom Line: Bottom line is that Minocycline does work but I'm not sure if the side effects are worth it. I think the effects vary from person to person and those who have none should consider themselves lucky. I would atleast give it a shot! I am using this along with Clindamycin in the morning and Tazorac at night. Recommended: Yes Usage: Anon has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 10.00 Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anony, Europe Mar 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Don't know. Cons: F**ks you up. Bottom Line: I didn't really feel good after taking the pills, but I gave it a shot. But, after 9 days of using it, something went wrong. Instant fever, weird ligtheaded feeling, heart beating like crazy (about 160 bpm), shaking as hell. Ambulance even got here. Believe me, rather have pimples than experiance that.

noname, NH Mar 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Bottom Line: I saw improvement in my skin within a day, but after taking it for about 3days i starting getting nauseous and a little dizzy so i stopped taking it. i'm not sure if i got nauseous from the pill though, because i was just not feeling right, it may just have just been a sickness.i'm doing good now but i'm nervous to go back on it because i don't want to get nauseous again, i DO want clear skin though! i'm 15 and i've been having trouble with acne since i was about 9 so i've been trying to fight with it for awhile. Also i told my derm about how i was feeling and she changed me over to doxycycline hyclate 50MG, but i haven't taking that yet because i'm nervous what that will do to me! i don't have horrifying acne but i think it's starting to get worse. so any suggestions? do you think i should go back on it? thanks!

Andy Yang, Sydney, NSW, Australia Mar 13th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Within four days, minocycline has alleviated the pain associated with cystic acne. So, in a sense, it is working. Unlike other users, I have not experienced any side effects, as yet. Bottom Line: Most general practitioners would combine this with a topical acne treatment to aid in the recovery of the skin. I've been prescribed ClindaTech, manufactured by DermaTech Laboratories. It's Clindamycin solution of up to 1% w/v concentration. Combined as a treatment, I know that it's still early days, but the raised inflammations have decreased dramatically. Even though, by just looking at it, the acne is still present in a severe form. However, I am optimistic that everything will clear by the end of the first half of the year. Recommended: Yes Usage: Andy Yang has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 15.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
