"I was advised minocycline 100 mg a day for a month for scalp folliculitis. In a week it showed improvement, and I was happy. But in the second week, I developed flu-like symptoms, and then one night, hive-like swelling spread all over my body, and I spent a night in the emergency room, where I was told to stop taking minocycline as it was very itchy, with a burning sensation and pain. I was given some shots of antihistamine. I was prescribed antihistamine medicine for a month now. This medicine is horrible as I am suffering from urticaria due to this medicine."

"Multiple severe side effects, including severe fatigue, diarrhea, muscle pain, confusion, and anxiety. Do your research! This is a dangerous drug. Took only four doses before I ended up in the ER. I am still recovering four days later and don't know how long it will take for a full recovery. Use only as a last resort, e.g., NOTHING else will work and you're close to death. ...and even then think twice. Not kidding. ...side effects are absolutely terrible."
