For Acne "I have been taking Monodox now for about a month. It does help a lot with pimples, but I still get cystic acne. I have been getting extremely nauseous every time I take it, and that seems to be getting worse the longer I've been on the medication. I do take it with food, and that doesn't seem to help. My doctor told me to take both at the same time, but I was wondering if taking only one at a time would reduce the nausea or just make me feel that way twice. I do like the medication, but my nausea is debilitating for almost half an hour, which isn't helpful in my workday at all."

For Acne "I started taking Monodox to help with an acne breakout. It worked within 3 days and started drying out my acne, but after 2 weeks I stopped because it was irritating my stomach too much. My face was pretty cleared up but not perfect. I was supposed to be on it for a month. The weirdest thing was the day after I stopped the drug, I began having extreme static electricity in my hair. I still have it, and it has been 4 days. I Googled to see what it could be and found that people who are on Accutane have experienced the same. I hope it goes away, it is very irritating."

For Acne "I have been on Monodox for a little under a month. I take it at night with my dinner, and I use a topical medication before bed. My skin has definitely improved, although not to the point where I feel like I don't need makeup. Any large or cystic pimples are gone, and I haven't gotten any since, but I do have some mild scarring left that hopefully will go away. I am still suffering from small under-the-skin whiteheads that are on my forehead and right cheek, although they have lessened in the number of them, there are still plenty left."

For Acne "I took Monodox for 4 days, and I had to stop because it made me so nauseous. One night I actually threw up. I don't know if it was because I take birth control too, but either way, it's not something I would do again."

For Acne "This completely made every zit I had disappear... but it makes me feel very sick. Depends on which outweighs the other, but it did work for acne."

For Acne "I have acne, and I used this product. Monodox did not clear my acne, however, it did keep it from flaring and becoming worse. I am no longer using this medication, but I guess my experience was okay."
