I took minocin in my late teens for about 5+ years. I never had a single outbreak or flare-up of acne while taking it (unless I missed a few days meds). While it never cleared my skin completely it most certainly helped. I do not recall ANY side effects.

(Very painful, though.) I went back to the MD, she said it was a coincidence and try it again. So I did, last Tuesday, but Thursday night I had two more big cysts (again on my chin).

I stopped immediately, and one is clearing up, the other is still there and incredibly painful. Has anyone else had this experience? I thought Mino was supposed to clear acne, not cause it!

the minocycline made my acne a lot better. not completely better, but mostly and that's fine by me. definitely beware of side effects, as some people experience them quite severely. I, thankfully, do not, so it works well for me. :)
