"even thought minocyline did what it was supposed to, it gave me awful side effects--migraines, stomach pain, slight fever, trouble breathing--pretty much every side effect listed. for a week i thought i was sick because my lymph nodes were a little swollen. i took it for about 2 weeks before i began having side effects--before that it just gave me dry lips. worth a try but please, please stop if it is making you sick."
