User Reviews for Minocycline

Minocin (minocycline) for Rheumatoid Arthritis: Having suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for more than 20 years I suffered a whole body flare 5 years ago severe enough to almost prevent me from walking. Twenty-six days after being put on Minocin by my doctor at Harvard Medical School I was riding my bicycle 10 miles a day. Minocin is not a "cure" for rheumatoid arthritis. Whenever I have attempted to get off this drug the rheumatoid arthritis has come back within 2 months. But as long as I take it you would never know I have rheumatoid arthritis. Only side effect I've experienced is a grayish blue tint to my skin on my neck and cheeks.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Allergic reaction causing welts, severe itchy skin, and joint pain.

minocycline for Acne: I had mild-sometimes moderate acne vulgaris. I didn't have terrible skin, but I didn't feel comfortable not wearing makeup, and somedays I was embarassed to let people see or touch my face. I began taking 100mg of Minocycline and saw a significant improvement. My skin cleared up very quickly, and overall my complexion looked brighter and softer. I would recommend taking Minocycline if your doctor perscribes it.

Minocin (minocycline) for Acne: I used this medicine for a week. I felt numb all the time and was dizzy and had nausea. It did start to work right away and my acne started to clear up.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: This product has worked very well for me. I have been on it for about a year now and they recently upped my dose to get rid of some of the very small bumps on my nose. Honestly this is the best product I have ever used. My advice: you should give it a try.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Solodyn has cleared up my skin completely. Contrary to the first comment someone posted, this is the first antibiotic that has worked without giving me constant yeast infections. The only drawback is the sensitivity to sunlight. One day at the beach with SPF 30 still caused me to become ill and badly burned.

minocycline for Acne: Minocycline, used in combination with a topical medication, was very effective in clearing my acne.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Solodyn is great. It starts working fast and I haven't had any side effects.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Solodyn was touted as being 'new' from my dermatologist after I tried many other antibiotics (Tetracycline, Minocycline, and Erythromycin all in various stages of potency). Even though Solodyn is really Minocycline, it's a extended release version of the antibiotic which is supposed to give a more consistent stream into your body. After using the product for over six months I have noticed no further nodular outbreaks on my back or neck area. My chest has also calmed down about 80% from before (red nodes, cystic acne, now down to small red bumps here and there). It is EXPENSIVE.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: This antibiotic keeps causing yeast infections, which do not seem worth the moderate benefit.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Solodyn really worked great for me. My skin cleared up extremely fast and has stayed clear. I might get a slight pimple here and there but it usually goes away in about 2 days and is hardly even noticeable. I haven't experienced any side effects whatsoever. Solodyn is the first antibiotic I have ever taken for my acne so maybe that is why it has worked so well. I would definitely recommend Solodyn for anyone who has never taken oral antibiotics for their acne before.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: This medicine had really bad side effects.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: I recently got horrible cystic acne on my back out of nowhere so I went to a dermatologist and was prescribed Solodyn along with Evoclin Foam cleansing cloths. After about 2 weeks of taking Solodyn I experienced extreme stomach pain and frequent trips to the bathroom. I lost about 8 lbs. After a couple more weeks the stomach pain went away and my back cleared up completely by the end of the pills. However, after stopping it, my face started to break out with little bumps on my forehead and my face was perfect beforehand. I dont know if this is due to stopping Solodyn.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: I have just recently started using Solodyn and have severe acne. I started seeing results very quickly. I am very happy with it.

minocycline for Rosacea: Whenever I have a flare-up I take 100 mg twice a day and it quickly resolves the problem and my skin looks wonderful. I take a lot a other medications for allergies and high blood pressure and this has never interfered with any of them.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: I was on Solodyn for about 6 months - the amount of time an acne medication is supposed to take to give you clear skin. While on it, I still had frequent whiteheads on a daily basis. Once off of it, I noticed more pimples popping up, but still - it didn't even get me anywhere close to having clear skin. I'm still looking for better medications. I have been dealing with this for two years and no solution yet.

minocycline for Acne: Another side effect- extreme itching.

Minocin (minocycline) for Acne: I used Minocin for about 20 years (16 - 36 years approx) which controlled my acne perfectly. Before I started taking this I had very, very severe acne, huge boils and spots all over my back and face but this seems to cure it. I was very lucky - I had no side effects apart from bad stomach if I took too many.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Solodyn really worked for me. Make sure the Dr. prescribes by your weight, I started with 90mg which is way too high for what I weigh, it caused tingling in my fingers and toes, once I got it reduced to 65mg I had no side effects. The only negative is the price, the discount card is only good for 3 refills after that it is very expensive.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: I have been using Solodyn. It has worked for me very well. It did not completely clear my pimples but I did not have any side effects on Solodyn.

Solodyn (minocycline) for Acne: Works well after 4-6 weeks of use but extremely pricey if don't have insurance coverage.

minocycline for Acne: I've been using Minocycline for acne breakouts. I use it for four or five days every other month (which is my usual breakout pattern). The medication is very effective, but I worry about using it too often because of the possible side effect of tooth discoloration.

minocycline for Acne: This med is SUPER effective for my cystic acne/acne in general. Acne runs in my family, if I'm not on minocycline I break out so bad that I don't want to leave my house (self-conscious, can't help it ha). When I'm on it, I have a few pimples at a times but otherwise skin looks clear. I DO however experience light-headedness, some ringing in my ears, and a general feeling of nausea like I have a mild case of the flu. But I think the benefit outweighs the side effects. I recommend this medicine.

Dynacin (minocycline) for Acne: This drug is very helpful. I used to have pus filled acne all over my face and now very few of them. It does nothing for white heads and clogged pores but does get rid of the pus filled looking ones.
