I was put on antibiotics 100mg twice a day 2 weeks ago, but i read all that bad things and about coming off it is usually bad. Should i taper off even if ive only taken them for 2 weeks? I ordered the regimen to become kind of a replacement so when i get off the antibiotics my face wont turn bad again. Should i wait until a month into the regimen to come off or should i quit cold turkey and start the regimen, hoping it wont let that breakout happen, or atleast clear it up quickly.

Honestly I was put on Minocycline two separate times, once I quit cold turkey, and another I tapered off. Both times I broke out bad again as soon as the drug left my system, all Minocycline does is kill the bacteria that acne feeds on. You're pretty much just masking the problem. It's not going to hurt you to run it though, I ran mino for a year until I got sick of it and asked to be put on Accutane.
