I suffered from hormonal and stress induced acne and it was extremely bad. After two weeks of taking this I saw a vast improvement in the quality of my skin. It reduced the frequency in my spots and erased many of the blemishes I had from previous acne scars.

It broke out my skin but ended up getting super clear.

I have been off it for 1 week now and i’m still having anxiety attacks and a sore neck. I do not recommend this drug being so strong just to have my acne ... Show Full Comment

I wish I would have never considered this medication.

However, I started getting joint pain and headaches- like what some others reported. I still use this medicine and still get headaches. Whenever I stop taking it, the pain goes away.

If the sacrifice of comfort and the easy schedule to take the drug on an empty stomach with a ton of water is worth it, I recommend it. Otherwise, try another.

Though this pill helped clear my acne effectively it caused me to have severe and terrifying panic attacks.

I was on this medication for about 1year to clear up my acne before my wedding and it worked great. Then, about 14 years later, I decided to go on it again and I had a severe reaction to it. I had horrible joint pain that I did not at first associate with the medication. But after I stopped taking it, the paint began to go away. I took one more pill and had such horrible pain, I was in agony. That is when I realized it was the tetracycline. I have never used it again and consider it my only allergen. A few of my joints still have residual pain. I continue to have cystic acne, but I wish I had never used Tetracycline.
