I have tried every treatment possible for my acne and i have had it for over 6 years, GPs never want to refer me so i've been stuck on just creams and antibiotics, finally went back to my GP and he put me on doxy for 3 months at one a day and i'm a week out from finishing my second month. First 2 weeks > skin stayed the same Remaining 2 weeks of the month > skin broke out bad ... Show Full Comment

First 2 weeks > skin stayed the same Remaining 2 weeks of the month > skin broke out bad After 3 weeks on my second month, my acne is pretty much stable but still the same..maybe a little less acne on my face but that's about it. So far i haven't seen a massive difference to even recommend this drug, for the side effects i got was it worth it? no...being sick / feeling ill for a few hours after taking it even with food / eyes so sensitive i can't even drive at night. Still got a week and a month to go until i finish so we'll see but after almost 2 months on it i dont see any difference...and these people who keep saying "yay it works" are saying it because they've probably been on ZERO antibiotics before or any strong acne treatments so of course it works..until it comes back 3 months later..i'm going on Accutane if doxy doesn't work after 3 months. I have been on Lymecycline two times before going on doxy...so maybe that's why doxy doesn't work for me? so annoying how GPs just throw you on the same thing over and over or just don't refer you and keep you on antibiotics to the point of resistance..

I am taking this medicine for long time now 20 MG twice a Day. everytime i stop this medicine acne comes back. As of now no side effects. I asked many Dr they said you can continue taking for long, no issues but i am not sure if i will have any issues in longer run. Can anyone recommend how to get rid of this tablet and still have clear skin?

i had quite severe cystic acne, and I took 2 100mg tablets twice a day (after a meal). It took 3 months but it completly cleared my skin up again. I haven't suffered from any side affects.

Severe pain in stomach. Tightness in chest. Tingling in hands and face. I'm 17 years old and thought I was going to die in my bed. Went to emergency and was told to immediately discontinue. These symptoms lasted for another three weeks. I was terrified it would never end. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT

I was prescribed this medicine for acne, I can say it does work. Has some side effects, that's why I stop taking it but other than that the medicine is effective.
