"i have only been on 100mg on monocycline for about a week and a half and have shown such improvements! i have had some acne on and off and for about 8 years, and it is so annoying it never goes away! i finally went to the dermatologist and begged for accutane. they started the procedures and said that i will need another month to get all my tests done. since then my acne has improved a ton!! i don&#039;t even think i will need accutane."
