"i have had acne since my teens- i am 36 now and i still would have it, if i didn&#039;t take minocycline.  i started off on 100 mg a day (50 mg twice daily) and now i am down to 50 mg once a day.  i hated my acne.  it is almost completely gone (i still get a few but not many at all) and it&#039;s so worth it. i haven&#039;t had any noticeable side effects.  plus with my insurance it&#039;s so much cheaper than all the skin stuff i tried that never worked. 
warning: if you are thinking about getting pregnant, get off this medicine (talk to your dr) because it is proven to be harmful to the fetus."
