Natalie, San Juan, Puerto Rico Apr 1st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It really clears up your skin. For me, no topical medication helped alone. Cons: It is not healthy to ingest antibiotics all the time, therefore I take it for a week, stop and when acne gets worse I start using it again. In a blood test my bilirubin values were a little bit high and that could implicate the liver. Bottom Line: It is a good solution for small time periods. But eventually something else has to be used because it is not healthy to take it all the time. Since I don't know if my liver is affected or not (repeated the test and it was ok) I am in a 150 mg/day regimen. I use it when my acne is severe and stop when it gets better (usually after a week) to let my body rest from it. Now my medical insurance does not cover prescriptions, therefore I use benzoic peroxide with the antibiotic, since is the cheapest option, but if burns and dries your face. When I could have prescriptions I used differin and duac with the antibiotic and my face was better than ever.

tanner, califonia Mar 31st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: hmmm cleared up... 70% of my facial outbreaks. horrible Cons: may not be for everyone maybe some side effects, ohhh ya sunlight sensitivity. i wana cry wen i see the sun but i hold together. Bottom Line: as in outbreaks i had about 5-10 big red pimple / zit things (maybe cysts) on my face, not on my forehead but chin, cheeks, and above my lips. around my lips was menacing and looked horrible it killed me inside. now a days im not as depressed, i take 100x minocicline. anything lower won't do as much probably. but 100x minocycline and regimen "acne Free" severe. acne free consists of 4 bottles a dead skin remover, a moisturizer, a morning and a night cleanser. i don't use the morning cleanser cuz the night one works better at both times of day. so far i've been able to live my life only with bad back acne and who knows maybe itll be gone soon.

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.

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.

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.
