I had tried everything that I could get my hands on and scrubbed my face 2-3 times a day and nothing would help. I finally broke down and called my Doctor and so glad I did. I have been taking this for a little over a month and have had great results with it. My face is completely clear and no more big red swollen knots under my skin that last for weeks. My complexion looks great and I've even sto...

I have been taking this medication for about a month now. It was fine for awhile but recently I've been getting really sick to my stomach. I sat on a chair this morning for half an hour wondering if I was going to throw up again. I did. That is the second time in 3 days. It recommends you drink it with plenty of water so maybe I just have to drink more water. And i guess I haven't seen much differ...

I took this for one week for Chlamydia. Five years ago I had my 5 nose piercings get infected, and, oddly enough, this medicine helped heal that infection. Also my left hand had been suffering from horrible eczema for over a year, the skin never seemed to heal, and this drug made the skin barrier heal up strong, and my fingers went from looking shrunken to looking and feeling alive again. I believe that rash was from a bootleg tattoo on my wrist that was infected, and it seems to be doing better, too. Overall, this medicine worked wonders for me. I even sneezed up some stuck junk in my nose and puked up some bad stuff in my tummy during the past week. It DID make me sleep a lot, and I felt lazy, got headaches, and one night had stomach pain, but it was okay. I almost want to take more in a few months because I had been suffering from seriously debilitating infections no doctor would prescribe me antibiotics for because they were on the "outside." It seemed to kick out any bacterial infection I had anywhere in my body. Including my hemorrhoids. I did not heal well after a miscarriage because the people I lived with did not clean, I could not keep up healing from everything, which made my lower region sick, gave me hemorrhoids and yeast infections, so this drug helped that, too.Read More Read Less

I use to have acne flareups on the back of my head/neck for a few years and not even benzoyl peroxide helped. I got this recommended to me by my doctor and within a few days all my acne was gone. This drug has been a life saver but I think my body has become dependent on it because as soon as I stop taking it, the acne comes back. I'm pretty sure this is not suppose to be a long term solution.

Works really well. Has helped remove a lot of acne, especially back acne. Does make me nauseous if I take it in the morning with no food. Has also made me go to the restroom more frequently. (#2)

It kicked the sinus infection and bronchitis down and I started to feel better after 2 doses, however, after my 4th dose I became so dizzy. I stopped it and took a different antibiotic, but it didn’t quite get the job done. Wish I could have tolerated the doxy, then I’d probably be done with this!

I contracted MRSA after having major surgery and developed several abscesses on my skin before realizing what I was plagued with. Once I started the antibiotic, the intense pain and swelling was greatly diminished within about 3 days. The only inconvenience is it really takes planning of when to take your dosage due to dietary restrictions with a few hours of taking. But it was a lifesaver for MRSA treatment.

Ive been taking the pill orally for about a month now and I have seen no results. I have been using it with a 10% benzyl peroxide cleanser in the morning and 4% salicylic acid cleanser at night with the differn adapalene gel. If anything it has made my acne much worse. It was prescribed to me to control the dark purple spots after a pimple, but it's just made me break out even more and i still see the dark spots. Please give me recommendations.

The medicine on the third day caused diarrhea, I woke up 4:30 AM on the third day with left leg tremors. The tremors lasted about 5 minutes. The only thing I can attribute it to is the medication as I take and have for years Paxil 20 MG at night and Zanex 1 mg. Maybe the medication did not mix well with my other above meds.

I personally have to take this with food or a snack or I feel nauseous. It has improved my acne in 2 weeks but not completely gone away so I am continuing for another 2 weeks to see how it goes. I have mild acne on my face, neck back and shoulders.

OMG This started on July 27th. By july 29th I developed a allergic skin rash that has covered everything except my face and palms of hands and bottom of feet. I called dr and told her. she switched me to something else. I ended up go to the ER because a week later my rash was getting worse. I tried Benadryl and oatmeal soaks. NOTHING would help. Dr at the ER wasn't surprised when he heard that I'd been on Doxycycline. Here I am 28 days later

As a teen, acne is really a bother to me. When I was younger, I didnâ??t really care too much about pimples even when people pointed them out because my friends had pimples too so I wasnâ??t alone. But as I paid less attention to my skin, it started getting worse when I got to my first year of high school. My friendsâ?? acne was nearly gone except me. So I tried a bunch of natural treatments that people recommended to me but it didnâ??t really help though it was slightly better. It started to hurt my self esteem so I finally decided to try this medication. I took the tablet versions rather than the capsules because that was what they gave me. The first week of taking it, along with applying Retin-A cream on my pimples helped a little bit. Iâ??m warning you, this drug takes time to work itâ??s not a first week thing. Unless youâ??re really patient, I wouldnâ??t recommend this medication. It works really well after the first two months of using it. Iâ??ve been using this for almost a year already and my acne has improved a lot. But before my periods, I still break out sometimes, not as much as before though and my acne is more manageable. Iâ??d take this over Accutane any day since itâ??s less harsh. Just keep telling yourself to be patient with this drug and youâ??ll get there someday :)Read More Read Less

I'm taking this medicine along with topical treatments to treat acne. I have a moderate to severe case of cystic acne. Overall it works OK. It definitely has improved my acne condition but is no where near making it go away completely.

Prescribed 100mg 2x/day. Cleared condition within two weeks. Continued at this dose until I personally read of the 30mg dosage. I decreased my 100mg to only once per day. Still effective. I then took every other day. NOT effective. For me, taking 100mg 4x per week has been effective for years. Take 100mg Sat/Sun - Tues/Thurs.

Second time using this medication.It did take a month to work and it was worth the time.My acne was HORRIBLE and traveled from my fave to back,chest and neck.This all has happened within a year,my only complaint is when I stopped taking it after I used my prescription up my acne came right back??????????and rather quickly too.Doc says it's not good to stay on it but what do we do to fix this problem.I was given a refill for 90 more days so I guess I will be flawless for 90 days then back to a pizza face????Read More Read Less

Started a ten day course of this antibiotic after my pneumonia started to return, along with new pleurisy symptoms, a few days after my previous antibiotic.This has done a good job reducing my symptoms, except for pain from inflammation. I do get very nauseous and vomit if I do not take it with food, especially in the morning.

I take this drug when I travel to India as a preventive measure. It has worked for me with no side effects. I take it once a day, 2 days before the trip, during the trip and 10 days after the trip. It seems to be working. Traveling again next week and will be taking it once more.
