"i was prescribed this after about 7 years of chronic acne on my face, shoulders, chest and back since i was about 11. every face wash and diet change did nothing to help it. i wish i&#039;d taken doxycycline sooner, it&#039;s absolutely amazing. i started noticing less redness and bad pimples after about three days, and it obliterated the ones that were already there. after 2-3 weeks, i only had a few blackheads and even those were few and far between. really great stuff. been using it for 3 months so far.



i&#039;ve had no nasty side effects (apart from dehydration in the morning sometimes) up until today when i forgot to take it with food (oops!) and experienced about 20 minutes of severe stomach pains afterwards.



overall, brilliant stuff."
