Hi, I previously took minocycline for 6 months and it did not work. My acne is still here.

What do you guys recommend to go for next, so i can recommend it to my doctor?

I might not want to go on accutane due to the larger amount of side effects than other medications ( i do believe ) , but i may go on it as my sister went on it before and her only real side effect was mood changes, so the side effects might be simular to what i'll get. When i was on minocycline i didn't have any major side effects maybe just some mood changes as well, that's it really.

Any recommendations and help is so appreciated! Thanks guys/

I took minocycline and it did not work. The next step up would be bactrim DS... This is what my dermatologist offered and told me that this is one step up from mino.
