[QUOTE=jakey;3125783]How long have you been clear with the minocycline and what is your dosage? Thanks for responding!
The Mino kept me clear for another year or 2, but then I started a different acne treatment (Spironolactone) which worked wonders, so I didn't need the Mino anymore.
I took 100 mg twice daily. And IMO, it's much better than Doxy. I used to get really nauseas with Doxy, but no problems whatsoever with Mino.
Another idea is to add in a topical antibiotic to your regimen. My derm said that a topical antibiotic (such as clindamycin) + an oral antibiotic combination works better than just the oral.
Good luck :)
