| Pros: | gets rid of cysts |
| Cons: | it's an antibiotic |
| Bottom Line: | Works great for me. Cleared up my face nicely - used to be on 2 twice a day but now down to 1 twice a day. It keeps the cysts away amazingly well. Now I am just trying to find a bcp that will work just as well but so far it's been a horrendous ride. |

| Bottom Line: | Be aware - Tetracycline can affect your vision.
I took it for a bit, and my vision did change (floaters). I have no proof that these were caused by Tetracycline, but my ophthalmologist told me that it can affect vision.
If I could do it over, I WOULD NOT TAKE TETRACYCLINE. It's not worth. Try the so-called "regimen" first. Especially if your acne is not that bad, just relax - it's only acne! It'll probably go away. If it doesn't, then think about medicines. |

| Pros: | Cheap. |
| Cons: | Everything else. It didn't do anything for my acne, it's a hassle to remember to take it and you have to rearrange all your meals around when you take it. |
| Bottom Line: | Don't bother with it. It doesn't help, and it's an antibiotic; we're not supposed to take them for too long because it's not good for our natural bacteria and may render the antibiotic useless in time as bacteria become immune to it. |

| Pros: | Prevents cysts very well. |
| Cons: | Some GI tract upset. |
| Bottom Line: | I'm positive it prevents cysts. I've run out, and started getting the huge deep cysts. Started taking it again, and they went away. I started taking it when I was 15, and I'm 22 now and still taking it. |

| Pros: | not sure yet... been taking it for 4 days now and havent noticed much difference expect I have broken out around my mouth area with annoying pimples and whiteheads.. they are having a party there are so many of them!!!! |
| Cons: | has given me the worst headache in months... sometimes feel a little sick but just a general low and weak feeling so far and feeling like poo seeing yet another zit pop up, they have popped up on my cheeks so annoying as they were clear once! |
| Bottom Line: | ok here it is, I have only been taking this for 4 days, my dr prescribed me 250mg take two in the morning and two in evening - take on empty stomach with pure water, I am trying to cut of diary loads now!
drinking lots of water throughout the day, hoping that the break out is down to this stuff pushing the junk from underneath my skin out, is this true is this what happens?? As I have broke out and have never broken out so much like this for ages!!! so just hoping it is pushing the rubbih up to the top and then will begin to heal & the process of getting clear will begin..hope it heals quickly though as I am starting a new job on monday and just dont want to start a job with a face full of spots!! anyways lets see what happens, guys if u have any update or news on how u did in ur first few days on this I would be so grateful to hear it!
good luck to all u guys out there suffering with this horrible thing called acne, it sure sucks!
good luck all on this xx |

| Pros: | Worked really really well, so great I didnt even recognize that was my actual face. |
| Cons: | A slight pinkish hue to just my face (will wear a better sunscrean)Just like Nikkala as soon as I stopped taking it my face went back to being worse than before - I have never been more ashamed of my skin before. I'll never stop taking it again. |
| Bottom Line: | Dont try it, make it a PERMINATE habbit. I made the mistake of just trying it and now look where I'm at. Its awefull, I should have never stopped taking it. Honestly I never did anything different as far as my routine -everything the same, just taking those little pills helped. Will definately recommend to a friend. |
