I took minocin in my late teens for about 5+ years. I never had a single outbreak or flare-up of acne while taking it (unless I missed a few days meds). While it never cleared my skin completely it most certainly helped. I do not recall ANY side effects.

This medication made me so dizzy. I felt like I was spinning and was not able to function. Within 24 hours of stopping the medicine, my dizziness was gone. I only took it for 3 days, so I did not get any benefit from it.

(Very painful, though.) I went back to the MD, she said it was a coincidence and try it again. So I did, last Tuesday, but Thursday night I had two more big cysts (again on my chin).

(Very painful, though.) I went back to the MD, she said it was a coincidence and try it again. So I did, last Tuesday, but Thursday night I had two more big cysts (again on my chin). I stopped immediately, and one is clearing up, the other is still there and incredibly painful. Has anyone else had this experience? I thought Mino was supposed to clear acne, not cause it!
