This worked alright. It helped my skin overall look clearer, but it comes and goes in waves. Sometimes it's bad again and other times it's pretty good. I took it on an empty stomach one morning and it made me pretty nauseous.

I stopped the meds and called the doctors office. I also experienced a weird tingling in my arms when the sun would shine on them. I hope my toes eventually heal, I can't get shoes on them and can't go out without any.. I hope ... Show Full Comment

The only thing I experienced during the first 3 days was nausea, which happened the next morning. I haven't experienced the pill stuck in the throat feeling, but I did experience that the first time I tried this medication, which was about 3 years ago. Drink, drink, drink is my best advice. Even if you drink juice, follow it up with a cup of water.

However every time I took a dose with food and water as instructed, but I started getting severe stomach pain as well as other GI symptoms. After 3 days of starting the medication I got a headache that got worse and worse everyday after taking the medication. After almost a week of use I had the worse migraine of my life. However my skin was looking better. So now I got switched back to minocycline.
