Minocycline (Antibiotic) Reviews

i have been on it for about 2 months and my skin is looking clearer and feels smoother. i still get mild breakouts. only side effect is slight dizziness. i'm not liking the idea of taking 2 pills a day though. it can't be good for a persons body to pump it full of antibiotics everyday

have not taken it yet, i got it from my docter and reading all of this im not sure if i should take it. I'll let u know how it turns out.

Works really good. Got the tip from this site. I have used minocycline now for 3 months. Almost no acne at all atm, maybe some small pimps once every second week. If you live in EU you can easily order it over the net or get it subsribed. Minocycline is a bit expensive, but its sure worth the costs when it works.

Hope this medication works as well on the rest of ya!

I used it for only 6 months but had to stop only because it was really expensive! I am not sure why people have been saying that it is cheap because it cost me about $105 CAD for a bottle(90 capsuls). But it did work for me and I didn't have any side effects that I know of! It did not clear up the red spots that happen when the pimples subside but all around it was pretty effective.

Been on it two weeks, no real results but no side effects. I combine taking minocycline with benzoyl peroxide creams the panoxil bar for the shower. I also take various supplements such as Flax Seed oil. we'll see what happens

It worked great for the first three months or so, then I stopped (like an idiot) and had the worst acne of my life. I tried starting it up again for four months but it did nothing. I think the trick is to follow the instructions religously, however confident u feel about your skin. The side effects were intermittent but bad. I suffered from muscle weakness and fatigue, and as a rugby player it affected my game badly and knackered me completely at school. Just read the label and the leaflet and understand exactly what you have to do, and what might happen as a result. N.B. For affordability i rated 5 because as a UK student i don't have to pay for prescriptions. I have no idea how much it would cost in the US or elsewhere, sorry.

this is only my first wk using minocycline so i havent seen any results yet...but i have noticed that it makes me dizzy, lightheaded, and extremely sleepy. =/

I have been taking Minocycline once a day along with that topical gel Benzamyacin. I havn't been happy with the Minocycline. It hasn't done much in terms of clearing up my acne and it has horrible side effects. I would especially warn women that you can get TERRIBLE yeast infections from this stuff. Anyhoo...I woulldn't necessarily recommend this unless you have major acne problems...otherwise, the harmful effects just aren't worth it.

I went on minocylcline at 16. I had the worst acne that I've ever witnessed anywhere. I never had it until I hit 16. I had calloused acne all over my face. It was bad. I went on minocycline and tazorac and I cleared completely up with no side effects with the exception of dryness and redness which you can control with the right lotion. I joined the military and went off it for two years. It seems to be coming back so I went out today and got doctors orders to go back on that with Benamycin topical gel. I only hope it works as well as it did in the past. Oh, and I'm 21 now.

I have been on this for about three years now. Have had no side affects though my acne did take a while to clear up to a point where I was happy. I think my doctor is planning on reducing my dose soon from one a day to one every other day. Hopefully my skin will stay at this level. Note: I do have to get blood tests done every three month in case of liver damage etc. I still get very mild breakouts about once a month.
