Just started
My derm prescribed this after minocycline had little effect on my acne. Just started today but will post back with the results. I don't have much acne on my face but have it bad on my back and every once in a while get giant pimples on other parts of my body like the wasteline and butt.

Pros:

I have been taking amoxicillin for over a year now because it does control my acne. I am not 100% clear, but I had about 90% improvement. My prescription is a two 250 mg twice a day and increasing the dose to three 250 mg twice a day when on my period (My acne acts up around my period). What I just listed is my original prescription but it has then decreased to one 250 mg twice a day.

Cons:

I am worried about what the long term effects of taking amoxicillin are. That's why I have reduced the dose (with my dermatologist's advise). I have been ok with the one 250 mg twice a day and when I start breaking out around my period, I increase the dose a bit. Another negative thing is that I recently developed a really bad yeast infection (1st one ever) and it took me a while to totally cure it. After doing research, I have a feeling that amoxicillin cause my yeast infection.

Amoxicillin has worked for me, but still concerned about the long term effects so after my wedding (want clear skin for that special day) I will be actively searching for alternative solutions.

Pros:

Less severe of breakouts
Kind of works

Cons:

It gives you reallllllly bad stomach aches
HAVE to take it with food or your stomach will die
Doesnt get rid of acne for good

It works for some people but like most antibiotics its not for everyone. You should be able to tell within three weeks whether its for you or not
