I have been taking 100mg of doxcycline morning and night for a little under four weeks (along with tretinion cream at night and occasionally a moisturizing cream I got from my holistic estyticean in the morning) and am discouraged. I have a very clean diet and try to drink a lot of water, and still my acne is bad. Actually, I feel like it's been worsening. I didn't used to get puss at the heads of my zits, and now I have a face full of it! My cheeks used to be pretty clear, but now they're being affected! I have tried SOOO many things for my skin and feel very self conscious about it; if this doesn't work, I'll be very upset, especially after reading such raving reviews.
So I guess my question is: Is this normal? Should I wait longer? Is it a drug that has to clear out the yucky stuff before it can begin to work? If so, it's sure taking its sweet time.
