For Acne "I have been on and off Solodyn, and it works awesome every time! I am 43 years old and started breaking out around my mouth. I was convinced it was adult acne. I never had acne in my younger years, so I figured now it was my turn. I went to my dermatologist, and he prescribed Solodyn. I noticed results as early as one week. I do get very dizzy and tired, so I take it a couple of hours before bed. It is very expensive, so make sure you get the discount card from your dermatologist."

For Acne "I've just started this medication, and so far, so good. So far, all I have noticed is that my pimples are coming to a head, and my cysts are starting to level, and also, blackheads and whiteheads are vanishing. I'm on the 80 mg Solodyn, and I'm guessing that's very high since most people here are on like 65 and 50 mg. I do get very dizzy, lightheaded, my stomach kills, and I have trouble focusing for about two hours after taking the antibiotic, but it's a price I'm willing to pay. I have sensitive skin, and I like how this doesn't make me peel as much as the previous topical medication I was on (Ziana). I'm still supposed to use it, but I like the results I'm getting without it. I would recommend this for sure."

For Acne "I tried a lot of products to get rid of my adult acne. The doctor put me on a topical cream for the first 3 months, then wanted me to take Solodyn 45 along with the cream. My face looks perfect. I started getting side effects the last 2 months since the doctor gave me Solodyn 55. Now I have problems breathing and a little dizzy. I am only 30 and very healthy, and this is the only pill I take, so I think it had to be the upgrade on mg that is causing my new problems. I stopped the pills but am still using the cream. Hopefully, I won’t get the acne back. I would recommend this, but make sure you pay attention to any changes in your health and stop taking it then."

For Acne "I really like Solodyn. So far, it's gotten rid of my acne. The only thing that I don't like is that when you stop taking it, you start to break out a lot. But so far, no really bad reactions, just dizziness and vertigo, but that's why I was recommended to take it before bed. It helps."

For Acne "I have had on and off acne for about 8 years. During August-October 2015, my skin was breaking out into big, painful cystic pimples. They were mostly on my chin, but some on my forehead as well. I was prescribed Solodyn 80 mg in October, and by January, I had absolutely no pimples on my face. It gave me some side effects, such as headaches and light dizziness. I also felt slightly nauseous, but nothing too serious. It really cleared up my skin. This is the first oral product that has cleared my skin up in 8 years, and I have tried pills such as doxycycline (did not work). I swear by this pill. I stopped taking it in February because my skin was great. But now I am going on them in generic form because my acne began to come back in April."
