| Pros | Improvements shown within 3 weeks!! Didn't react in any way with the alcohol I have had on ocasion No side effects |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I got these free on the NHS in the UK as I am under 16, and they are brilliant.. Worked absolute wonders. The doctor said that it should take 8 weeks for the signs to start showing and they started showing after only 3 weeks.. Brilliant! I really recommend it |

| Pros | Worked wonders the first 4 weeks of use |
|---|---|
| Cons | Acne got really bad while i was on the them, and later I broke out into hives, and ever since have developed cystic acne. |
| Bottom line | Tetracycline was probably the worst thing I ever did to myself. It has honestly ruined my life. I had two small pimples when I first started taking them, and now it is a complete 180 degree turn. It worked really well the first four weeks, and later I started breaking out on my forehead and nose - two places I have never broken out! I later broke out into hives, and ever since I have been breaking out nonstop!! The past three months have been horrific. My entire face is covered with blemishes, and now I get large, painful pimples that don't respond to anything. I have not seen my face in this condition since I was a teenager. My face is really dry as well. Please be cautious when taking this medication and think it through if you really want it. I wish I never made that trip to the dermatologist. My life has turned upside down. Do not take it, please!! |

| Pros | I have only been on these just over a week havent really noticed much diffrence but im sure soon they will take affect. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I broke one of the Capsules, im on one a day and I was out on a trip and only had one with me so i had to swallow the powder inside the capsule, its was really really disgusting and i felt kinda sick after it but it went away they just taste so awful |
| Bottom line | I think if i continue to take them hopefully they'll cleart up my acne, I have a few spots on my face, i usually get then on my cheeks forehead or around the mouth i also sometime get some on my back but only like one or two although sometime they can be painful. I've only every tried creams and fash washes you can buy instores perscription free, so it the first time i've been perscripted something for it. |

| Pros | It work very well for about 8 months. My doc told me to try to stop taking them (probably b/c of the immunity everyone has mentioned). So i was on them for 2 months and my skin was great all summer until now. Just refilled |
|---|---|
| Cons | Meh...didn't really think i had any side effects. The whole immunity and acne coming back was a bummer. |
| Bottom line | Ask your doc for a "patient savings card" and your prescription will be no more than $25. Worked really well for me while it lasted. Hopefully i can achieve the same results. |

| Pros | I didn't take it for very long, only two weeks |
|---|---|
| Cons | My doc said that there were no side effects. THEN, I had sex. It hurt so bad, I was freaked out. The next morning i made an appointment with the doctor. So, apparently this medicine causes yeast infections. : ( Yuck. |
| Bottom line | Just letting everyone know, because i had NO idea. |

| Pros | I'm on my second and trying with every ounce in my body not to break down and cry. Upon starting this medication I had acne along my chin and lower cheeks.. maybe half a dozen pimples. 1.5 weeks later and I have so many I can't count. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It's a full flown acne rash. I've never had acne so sensitive in my life! It's bright red, hits to touch and just digusting! |
| Bottom line | I'll keep fighting for the next two weeks... but I's seriously hoping for miracle from this stuff... |

| Pros | -Very Affordable -Very minimal side affects - |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Meals have to revolve around the medication (Your Pharmacist will explain) |
| Bottom line | I thought at the age of 24 my acne and breakouts would disappear but I was wrong. In fact it got worse. I finally decided to go to my family doctor. He examined my face and determined that tetracycline would probably be the ideal choice. I was perscribed 3 cycles. I can honestly say that this medication works. Tetracycline definitely got rid of the acne and pimples on my face. However, the results are not instantaneous. I noticed results after 1.5 months. I did not experience any side affects but I found the 2 hour eating rule and inconvenience. After my last cycle of Tetracycline I only had minor acne on my forehead. The breakouts had completely subsided and my skin looked much cleaner. I wish I had gone to see my family doctor earlier. |
