Pros:

Cleared my skin

I have a cleared skin after 4months of using Solodyn. Its a great medication, but not cheap. I hope that if I stop using it the acne does not come back.

My daughter took this medication for 3 weeks. She suddenly broke out in hives. They looked like someone beat her with a belt. They were burning and itchey. She wanted to jump out of her skin. This lasted about 2 weeks. Cannot in good conscience recommend this to anyone.

Pros:

CLEARED SKIN IN TWO WEEKS

Cons:

NO REAL SIDE EFFECTS,JUST SLIGHTLY DRYING

After going through a very traumatic time I had developed about a dozen large painful cysts. My doctor said this is am eruption and he feels I would benefit with use of this medication. He was right. My skin is not breaking out and the scars have almost completely cleared.

Pros:

It worked well. I no longer have any new blemishes. I have only used it for two months.

Cons:

The price is outrageous!! Even with the $10.00 coupon my doctor gave me, it still cost $42.99/month. When my pharmacist inquired about the coupon, we were told the price went up and they could not honor the $10.00 price. No thanks!

I am not going to give them the pleasure of using it anymore. False advertising is a crime. It is too bad beacuse it actually works. I will not be baited in by a cheap coupon and then told to pay more. Sorry, I don't think so!

Pros:

Don't have to take on an empty stomach. Works fairly well. 90% less blemishes.

Cons:

Made my stomach queazy and I lost my appetite the first week. Expensive.

I do not like the price of this product, but I've noticed gradual improvement every week. I've not had any side effects since the first week of usage.

Cons:

- Gave me even worse breakouts
- Gave me body acne where I didn't have it before
- TERRIBLE mood swings
- Chest pains with it
- Hot flashes

I saw my dermatologist's assistant, instead of my dermatologist, and she was NOT upfront with me about the side effects. I explicitly asked about them, and she said there basically were none - just some dizziness on occasion. This couldn't be further from the truth. First off, this drug DOES NOT WORK. Doxycycline took about a couple of weeks to clear up my face once I started using it. If I went off, I would break out but when I started again, I'd be clear in 2-3 days. I've been on Solodyn for 2 weeks and I've gotten MORE breakouts. I've even tried doubling my dosages to make it more effective, and it STILL doesn't work. I went into a meeting at 10:00 and came out at 1:30 with two fully matured, pus-filled pimples, ready to be popped. I get a headache when I take this medicine. It makes me extremely irritable and aggressive. It burns in my chest about 20 minutes after I take it. Oh, and did I mention IT DOESN'T WORK. I wish there was a lower rating than "1." The coupon for the free month's supply was garbage. I've already called my dermatologist to have her switch me back to doxycycline. They're going to have to pick someone else to experiment this Solodyn crap on. I HATE this medication (fyi, I'm the person that people who have known me for 20 years have never seen not smiling, and this rant disguised as a review was written 1.5 hours after taking it - just to show you just how bad the mood swings are). I HATE this drug, and I no longer trust the crappy physician's assistant who put me on it.
