Pros:

I had bad back acne and it started clearing within days of using. One pill a day, easy to take, I'm only on 45mg. I have been CLEAR for over a month.

Cons:

Absolutely none. I know a lot of people write reviews about bad side effects, but I really believe that more people have great success with it and don't bother to write positive reviews once clear. It really does work.

Don't suffer unnecessarily. It gave me my confidence back. My derm wants me to stay on it for 6 more months to make sure it knocks the infection out completely. They say they don't have studies past 3 months but in my experience, once you really knock it out it stays gone. I had been on minocycline in high school for over two years for facial acne - it cleared my face then and has been clear ever since (I'm 32 now). I'm figuring that the new improved solodyn should do the same for my bacne. Make sure to get the rebate card from your derm!

Pros:

immediate results. My skin looks amazing. I was getting breakouts that took forever to heal. No breakouts overall - a tiny few around my period - but healed SO fast! Wonderful to wake up and not worry about what I will find on my face.

Cons:

None that I can tell. I've been on the med for 2 months.

Thrilled with results. I have great medical coverage, so the price is not an issue - don't think I could justify being on it if I had to pay the full price.

Pros:

took a couple of months to work but when it did my skin was literally glowing

Cons:

got some big ginormous pimples in my cheeks that scarred in the first month or two

try it. if you can get rebates on this and your willing to wait on your acne to get better after it gets a bit worse, go for it if/when you get those massive cyst pimply guys-DO NOT POP!! you will be left with gross scars that my dermatologist told me they would take years to go away

Pros:

Clears up your skin and I have had ZERO side effects!! This stuff is great!

Cons:

CAN be expensive ($500+), but if you get a prescription card from your Dermatologist, you can get it for $25 or less...

I have been taking 90mg/day for about a week and half, and this stuff is awesome. Before I started taking this medicine, I came out here to see what other people thought, and everyone had me scared to death, with all of their "side effects", etc. I called my Derm about my concerns and she said that the ingredients that are in Solodyn (minocycline) used to be pretty hard stuff. She said the medication has been improved and that I should have no side effects. I have cystic acne (not bad, but a couple in my chin area) and I have had them for years. I started taking this stuff 10 days ago, along with putting Duac on in the AM and Differin at night, and I have cleared up about 85%! What is left on my chin is the marks that will go away. No more cysts, and it's only been 10 days. ZERO side effects whatsoever! I take it at night about 7:30pm after I have dinner. NO clue if this matters with any nausea, etc, but I'm telling you, this stuff works great, and I feel great.

Pros:

Solodyn works very well!!!! It take about 6 weeks to clear everything up but it is well worth the wait. My derm gave me reate cards so for the first three months of my prescription was free. now it is 25 dollars, but well worth it!

Cons:

Takes a few weeks to work, but well worth it.

I would recomend this to anyone who is frustrated of trying all kinds of different acne products and none of them work.

Pros:

I was reluctant but it actually cleared up all my pimples even the the big huge bumps!

Cons:

It costs alot to some people but money is not an issue to me (500 dollars )

If you clearly have been trying many medication and wasted like 100dollars or more in buying that stuff. Go to your derm ask how solodyn is for you. Than Get it. If money is an issue get some samples pills from the doctor that will last atleast 2 weeks. I started it like saturday and now its wednesday and my face is totally cleared from all those small pimples to those big huge pimplees
