"Caused tummy upset/diarrhea. Dentist denied this could happen, but I have had antibiotic-caused tummy issues before. I know how it feels. Note: dentist seemed particularly clueless about the side effects. I had to educate him."

"This drug is dangerous and has too many terrible side effects for too many people. I was prescribed Minocycline 50 mg 1x a day by my dentist to treat a minor infection. After the 2nd week of taking it once per day, I developed a throbbing headache in the area around my forehead and eyes, neck pain, all over body aches, nausea, loss of appetite (flu-like symptoms), as well as depression. Note: I am a healthy, happy 60-year-old who rarely experiences even mild headaches or body aches. The pain I felt was debilitating, and I could barely function or sleep for over a week. I did not make the connection with the Minocycline. My dentist advised me to stop taking the medication immediately. Within 2 days of stopping, the pains subsided, and I feel like a new person. Reading now about some of the common dangerous outcomes with this drug (especially brain swelling and blindness), I'm shocked it's still on the market. So many other alternatives. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG."

"I started this medication, minocycline, for a “rash” on the side of my nose and under it. Prescribed for 4-6 weeks, twice a day, along with a topical cream. Perioral dermatitis. I’ve been nauseated."
