"I suffered for years with Rosacea before seeking treatment. After finally seeking help I was prescribed Minocin. One course completely cleared up the problem and 18 years on I haven’t any further breakouts."

"This medication works well for me. It took a very long time before I was finally diagnosed with Rosacea. I kept hoping I would just out grow adolescent acne even all the way into my late twenties. The only side effect I have encountered is yeast infections. I started taking acidophillus which helps but am now going to consult a nutritionist to see if they can help diet wise. The benefits of the drug outway the side effect but I hope to find a happy balance."

"Had to take prednisone just to function. Doctors had no idea. Saw RA and internal medicine doctors. Got a liver biopsy. Stopped the minocycline on my own. None had any idea and dismissed me when I suggested the minocycline. Took about 3 months but if you look under minocycline toxicity you will see my symptoms nearly word for word. Finally told doctor to weaned me off prednisone to see how I feel. Now I’m fine. Tried some topical treatment dermatologist suggested and as soon as I noticed a drop in energy I stopped."

"I started taking this and after a few weeks my Rosacea was clearer but had to stop because of UNBEARABLE joint pain. Doctor put me on a lower dose of doxycycline and so far so good."

"Although it took 6 weeks to show improvement, after that it worked great. The doctor told me it would take that long. I had no side effects. I had a red area on my nose and under my eye for months and doctor said it was rosacea. It cleared it completely. I also have red and dry skin on my cheeks and jaw that the medicine did NOT help."
