"i have suffered from severely moderate cystic acne for the last 3 years and i had tried many different types of acne treatment. first lymacycline, which i was on for 3 months, then i tried erythromycin and clarithromycin and both made me feel chronically sick all the time! my doctor recommended doxycycline and i was very pessimistic about it because of bad reviews on various websites. i am currently on doxycycline and the pill (dianette) at the same time. it has only been a week using this combination but i already see a dramatic difference in my skin,  the pimples on my forehead have cleared up, so have most of the ones on my cheeks and its progressively getting better each day! i would really recommend this treatment!"
