For Acne "I started taking this less than a week ago, but will be stopping it because of the side effects. It has helped my acne, but the side effects don't make it worth it. I constantly feel nauseous, have headaches, feel feverish, and am unusually exhausted."

For Acne "It took away my acne in a few days, but it made me nauseous when I took it on an empty stomach. My insurance covered it partially, but I didn't want to take it too long and become resistant to antibiotics."

For Acne "I am 25 years old, and I've been taking Solodyn for four days now. I usually wake up with a few new pimples on my face but have not seen any of that since on this pill. I'm extremely happy since I've been suffering from breakouts since the age of fourteen. A side effect would be nausea, but at this point in my life, anything is worth having clear skin and not being self-conscious. Another thing to add is that I have also been using Onexton, which is a daily face gel."

For Acne "I am on Solodyn for 5 months now, and my first 3 months were bad, and the 4th month got better, but I developed a minor itch on my leg, and I asked the doctor about it. I guess it was one of the drug's side effects. Also, feeling nausea or loopy is what I get sometimes, too! But my back is so much better now, and no acne or inflamed blackheads are slowly clearing up! But I worry about liver damage :("

For Acne "I just wanted to share the info I got from my doctor. I just got prescribed this medication today. Some people on here mentioned headaches, nausea, and tanning, both of which my doctor told me could be some side effects. Hope that helped! I hope this medicine helps me."

For Acne "I am taking this because I have perioral dermatitis. I was given Solodyn for 1 week and the generic for 4 weeks. So far, I have been on Solodyn for 5 days. The first day, I felt a little dry mouth...and up to now, I feel a little nauseous and almost like my throat is 'weird.' I don't know if it's coincidence or the actual drug. I will finish this bottle and start the generic, but if I feel anything getting worse, I will stop it immediately. To me, it's just not worth it. Unfortunately, this only clears up with medication, not topical cream... I hope this medication does not make me feel worse!"
