I have adult acne and truly seems to be the only prescription that worked towards getting rid of the bacteria!

I've taken minocycline 4 nights in a row, one capsule before bed. The first day I noticed a sore/dry throat. The second day - I can't remember the second day... The third day (yesterday) I had a sore throat, fatigue, light headed, confusion, and shallow breathing with a feeling that I am not taking in enough oxygen. Last night I woke up multiple times in desperation for water and shallow breathing ... Show Full Comment

The third day (yesterday) I had a sore throat, fatigue, light headed, confusion, and shallow breathing with a feeling that I am not taking in enough oxygen. Last night I woke up multiple times in desperation for water and shallow breathing. Today I have the same shallow breathing, lack of oxygen feeling, confusion, feeling that everything is slow, dry/sore throat, periods of fatigue, and memory lapse from the second day I took it. This would have been my fifth night on minocycline, but after reading the other reviews and judging from my own experience with it- I have decided to stop taking it.

I have been taking this medication now for about four months and from the very first week, it completely cleared up the painful nodules that had gotten worse and worse over the last year. I read the review here and was somewhat concerned, but thankfully, I have not had any kind of side effect while taking this medication. All I have experienced is clear skin and my face has not looked this smoot ... Show Full Comment

I read the review here and was somewhat concerned, but thankfully, I have not had any kind of side effect while taking this medication. All I have experienced is clear skin and my face has not looked this smooth and clear in years. I do have some pigmentation darkening on both sides of my face. I don't know if this is due to the medication or from the old nodules that were previously on those exact spots on my face.

Causes stomach upset! Instructions from pharmacy say not to take for 1 hour before or 2-3 hours after meals and meds (i.e. on an empty stomach). This conflicts with what WebMD says about taking it with food. When following pharmacy directions it's hard to find two 4-hour stretches of time without food each day to take the medicine.
