Hello! I have been taking 100 MG of Doxycycline once a day for one month, yet today when I got a refill I realized I am supposed to be taking 100 MG twice a day. Will I have another initial breakout if I increase my dosage to 100 MG twice a day? My skin has not improved much since I started and I assumed that was because it took time, but would a higher dosage help or make it worse?

Additional information: I am female, 18 years old, and use Differn 0.3% at night.

Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks so much.

I took twice a day for 2 months. Once cleared out, down to 1 per day for 3 months.

I would take the recommended dosage. The antibiotics are supposed to hit the bacteria hard and rid you of it. if you don't take enough or take it long enough it'll come back.
