"i started taking doryx about 4 months ago for cystic acne. so glad i did. it took almost 2 months to see results but it was definitely worth the wait. it doesn&#039;t bother me to leave the house now without makeup. occasionally i&#039;ll still get cysts but they only last a couple of days or so and it&#039;s usually around the time of my period. 

i do notice though that it makes me thirsty and it dries my skin/chaps my lips. but it&#039;s totally worth it. just be patient! i almost gave up after the first month. i&#039;m so glad i didn&#039;t."
