Loveless 0 Share Posted November 24, 2004 My skin is now totally resistant to Doxycycline. Does that mean that it would be resistant to Oxytetracycline and Minocycline too?Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dh79 0 Share Posted November 24, 2004 My skin is now totally resistant to Doxycycline. Does that mean that it would be resistant to Oxytetracycline and Minocycline too?Thanks.←As a teenager, tetracycline cleared me up pretty good a couple of times. I'm 25 now, and on the contrary, I took Doxycycline about a year ago for like 3 months with ABSOLUTELY no results. If anything, my skin looked worse. I then started Dan's regimen and it cleared me up nicely. Now I'm hoping to find something I can do that's a little bit less of a hassle than Dan's reg. that'll still keep me clear.

dh79 0 Share Posted November 24, 2004 So do you think trying something like Oxytetracycline would be a waste of time?←No, I was saying that it actually worked for me, but Doxy didn't. It would definitely be worth a try at least, in my opinion. Wait and see if more people respond though to this post though - there's others on this board that know much more about antibiotics than I do. Good luck to you.

kateroo 0 Share Posted November 24, 2004 you should try other antibiotics, resistance to one doesn't translate into resistance to another. I cleared on minocycline, became resistant, and then cleared again on doxycycline. Now I've gone through them all, but they did both work for a time. Good luck!

Roddy 0 Share Posted November 24, 2004 From personal experience Oxytetracycline doesn’t work don’t waste your time with it unless your acne is very mild. I hadn’t taken any drugs before Oxytetracycline so I couldn’t of built up a resistance.-Roddyp.s good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guitardude 0 Share Posted November 25, 2004 I'm under the impression that they are in the same family, meaning a resistance to one would mean a resistance to all of them.Once Mino stopped working i tried Doxy and got no results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
