"i have been taking monodox now for about a month. it does help a lot with pimples but i still get cystic acne. i have been getting extremely nauseous every time i take it, and that seems to be getting worse the longer i&#039;ve been on the medication. i do take it with food and that doesn&#039;t seem to help. my doctor told me to take both at the same time but i was wondering if taking only one at a time would that reduce the nausea or just make me feel that way twice. i do like the medication but my nausea is debilitating for almost half an hour which isn&#039;t helpful in my work day at all."
