Minocin (minocycline) for Acne: I used this medicine for less than a week. It really improved my skin but I had some bad side effects which included being dizzy and light-headed. I also had stomach cramps and very bad diarrhea. I tried taking it with and without food.

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.

Minocin (minocycline) for Rosacea: 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.

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.
