"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 outgrow adolescent acne, even all the way into my late twenties. The only side effect I have encountered is yeast infections. I started taking acidophilus, which helps, but am now going to consult a nutritionist to see if they can help diet-wise. The benefits of the drug outweigh the side effect, but I hope to find a happy balance."

"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 had any further breakouts."

"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 the doctor to wean me off prednisone to see how I feel. Now I’m fine. Tried some topical treatment a 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 the 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."
