For those who are/have taken minocin, what was the typical dosage you started out with. Right now I'm breaking out pretty bad with cysts and decided that I should go back on Minocin but I'm not sure if I should start out with 100mg/day or 200mg/day? I've taken accutane twice before but I still have major acne problems. At 25, I'm beginning to lose hope, I've been suffering for far too long and I'm just tired of it all. Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had a dosage of 100mg 2x a day. Boy does this stuff work but... hehe there's always a but...

>I got these blue-gray patches (bruise-like) all over my legs.. and 5 months after stopping treatment they're still there

>The acne came back MUCH worse once i stopped treatment and now on top of what I had before I had acne on my back, neck, and forehead.

I've met a girl who was cured by Mino so it's not a lost cause. But, if you don't see results within 3 months. Stop treatment because you don't want Mino to build up in yoru body like it did mine.

I JUST STARTED TAKING MINOCLIN 100 MG TWICE A DAY. I WAS ON TETRACYLINE 500MG TWICE A DAY FOR A WHILE WHICH DID NOTHING FOR MY SKIN, HOPE MINOCLIN WORKS!
