Comment:
Although Doryx proved extremely effective at treating my acne, about 2 weeks after being on Doryx, I started to get extremely painful headaches. After having these headaches for 6 days straight (I did take Aspirin which helped) I stopped taking it. Sure enough, 2 days after not using Doryx my headaches stopped and haven't continued since. I would definitely still recommend this medication as i
