foreverontherise 0 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Hey all! On October of last year, I was prescribed 100mg of Doxycycline 2x a day. 2 months ago, my skin was significantly improved (not perfect) and I went off of the medicine. My only mistake was that I did not ease my way off of the antibiotic; I just immediately stopped taking it 2x a day and that was that. My bad breakouts began on Monday of this week, I visited my dermatologist today, and I am back on Doxy. My question is this: Since I am taking Doxy for the 2nd time, will I still get an initial breakout? I had an initial breakout the first time I took it, but since my body now recognizes the medicine, will I still get it this time around? Thank you in advance for anyone who reads/answers this!

If you had an outbreak last time you started antibiotics then it was probably just a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
