Anonymous, New york city May 26th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Gets rid of your acne while you're on it, but after you're done with your doses..it will make your acne come back 10x worse than it ever was! Stay away! it's not worth it. Cons: Bad side effects: Stomach cramps, dizzyness, nausea. Bottom Line: I wouldn't recommend this for anyone, it's just a quick fix that will make your acne WORSE than what you started with!

Pros: works well and fast price is great... Cons: SIDE EFFECTS ARE CRAZY::::nausea,, dizziness I mean like crazy dizziness vertigo spells ears ringing..headaches that sent me to the er had ct scans thought I was dying....never thought it could of been the meds but after I stopped them I felt good Bottom Line: Great product clears up acne which is what I longed for, for a long time..But just couldnt stand the side effects but for the ppl that dont have the side effects you are lucky...I wish I could still take it..Cost was great...But in the end it ended up costing me alot 6,000.00 because I went to the er had ct scans doctors visits everything and the whole time it was only from the meds..about 10 days after I stopped the meds I started feeling better..I thought lets try the meds one more time 1 pill in the morning was all it took to mess up my next 2 days..But it varys from person to person...I have since been on erythromycin no side effects which was great but did not work on my acne...now Im on clindamycin pill and lotion only been 3 days so to early to say..

Kelsie, Hueytown,Alabama May 25th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It cleared up the small zits I would get all over my forehead Cons: Now Since I have been on it I have gotton huge knot bumps. They don't get white heads, it's just bumps that swell up like knots. Bottom Line: I like that it clared up my small bumps I have on my face, but I hate that I am getting huge cyst looking bumps. I believe I am going to be taken off and try something else. I have been on it for about to weeks, and I am not relly impressed. Recommended: No Usage: Kelsie has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 30.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Gabrielle, New York, NY May 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Prevents severe cystic acne as long as I take it every day. Prevents impetigo and staph. Cons: Sensitivity to sun, skin discoloration. Cystic acne reappears immediately if I stop taking the minocycline for a couple of days. Bottom Line: I've been on minocycline for several years now and it very effectively keeps my cystic acne, an all other acne, at bay. Prior to minocycline I always had at least 1-2 very deep cysts that would last for weeks at a time and often become infected and leave severe scars. Now I probably get 2-3 cysts per year, no infections and no further scaring. I was also very prone to impetigo and staph infections on my face and I haven't had one since I've been on minocycline. Minocycline is a godsend for me. Oddly, side effects started after I'd already been taking mino for 3+ years. I'm now extremely sensitive to the sun-- developed severe sun poisoning last summer and had to go on prednisone for a week. I kind of have a permanent tan now. Dependency and antibiotic resistance is also a concern. Bottom line is: my cystic acne was severe and now my skin is clear. So I'm willing to tolerate side effects.

Katie, Bay St. Louis, Mississippi May 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Has worked really well for me when paired with differin cream :o). I had very light acne on my chin, shoulders, and back and everything is about cleared up after about a month of taking this twice daily. Cons: I've had no side effects, so I don't really have much against this medication. Bottom Line: Good for people with light to moderate acne. I would suggest Accutane for anything severe, and I'm sure a dermatologist would, as well. I've tried tons of things for my face, i.e: ProActiv, the Clinique system, several scrubs, etc, and this has been working perfectly for me! Recommended: Yes Usage: Katie has used this item for about a month. Acne severity: light Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Mike, NJ May 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Semi stops new acne from forming. Cons: -Have to schedule around eating. -Makes you think you will get amazing results -I have been MAD tired every since I have been using it. Bottom Line: I dont have like severe acne, it is just VERY consistent, but with Minocyline I still have been breaking out with new pimples. But not as many pimples. Although I only been using it for two weeks. And I am on a 50mg once a day, and I dont think thats enough. So today Im going to derm. for a higher MG.

Jeffrey, Pittsburgh,PA May 19th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It works while you're on it. Cons: Conditions come back as soon as you come off the pills. Bottom Line: -Doctors and Derms hand out antibiotics like candy. -Try other methods preferably natural remedies before trying antibiotics. -Only take oral drugs if the case is life threatning. -Take care of your body. Change your diet, exercise daily, and stay away from drugs. Recommended: No Usage: Jeffrey has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 25.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

dprsd27, Bay Area, CA May 18th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: NONE. Does not clear acne, blemishes, zits, etc. Cons: Makes you hella tired, false hope, makes you feel SICK, dellusional and depressed, INCONVENIENT (must eat 2-3 hours after or 1 hour before taking), detrimental body effects overall...WASTE OF TIME Bottom Line: False hope. Tried tetracycline first. Neither worked. Minocycline made me sick, I had to schedule my eating times around it just so I could get the optimum results (which were none). WORSE PART is they made the sclera of my eye look pigmented/yellowish/not normal, made me break out in hives on my legs after a few months, and were a WASTE of TIME. I stopped taking them a while ago but I don't kno if it will help my eyes since taking any antibiotics for a prolonged period is never heatlhy. But I was desperate.... Recommended: No Usage: dprsd27 has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 30.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)
