I stopped mino a while back and broke out worse than I ever had ( I'm now back on it.). Then again I've been on different anitbiotics on and off for going on a decade, so who knows how messed up my wh...

I made a post about my experience trying to get off mino. Basically my face exploded worse than I have ever seen it. I have been taking antibiotics for many years so that didn't help. Moral of the sto...

Taking a pill every other day might not be a great idea. I've heard that having the fluctuations of medicine in your system might make things worse. I know when I was taking mino every three days I ha...

lumpylemur   Thanks for the advice!!! From the sound of it you've been able to come off antibiotics for good. Is that so? How long have you taken them, and which ones? What are some other things...

Personally, I like the retin a. I find that it makes the post acne red marks go away much faster than it normally would. And if you are going off of the mino, then retin a might not be a bad idea.

LeftRiding and someonegood12   Are either of you still taking antibiotics?

I've been taking taking mino for about 8 months. I tried stopping but my face broke out worse than it even has. I hope I can stop taking it. I haven't heard of anyone successfully stopping mino.

Thanks for sharing. Any update on how you are doing? I tried getting off of mino a couple months ago and my face exploded. I'm back on it now, but I want off of it ASAP.

I've been on antibiotics for years, and I wish I would have never taken them. Personally, I would just stick with topicals.

I've been on doxycycline, minocycline, and sulfa for years. I'm currently on mino, and want to be done with antibiotics for good, but I'm finding it impossible to do so, because of the extreme breakou...

Hi,   Here's my history. I started getting acne early in high school (i'm 23 now). It wasn't bad, but I wanted it all gone. I went to a dermatologist, and he put me on doxycycline. I was on it f...
