sgupta 0 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have been on the regimen for approximately one year. I rarely break out now, though the initial breakout, which was pretty hellacious, left me with about 20-25 small, slightly red/discolored, saucer shaped scars. In this year, I also attempted to wean myself off the BP, and in the interim took a month long course of minocycline and of doxy. During both antibiotics courses, I noticed that had incredible trouble both falling asleep and staying asleep. On most nights, I would wake up at least 3-4 times, and I would rarely be able to sleep more than 6 hours a night. These problems subsided a few weeks after the medication was stopped. I am seriously considering fraxel restore to help smooth some of the scarring. Since I am still prone to breakouts, and can't use BP during the healing period, I have been advised to start on antibiotics before the laser and continue for awhile post-laser treatment. However, I am afraid that the sleep issues will arise again. Anyone have any advice/recommendations for alternatives to the antibiotics or the BP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
