"i started taking solodyn 80mg for a month after stopping my birth control and developing cystic acne as a result of stopping it. i have the giant cystic ones that come back worse every time i stop an antibiotic for acne (2 rounds of doxy, 1 round of minocycline). so i took it for 8 weeks total and noticed significant hair loss over those eight weeks with mild improvement in my acne. i got less giant pimples that were deep and under the surface, but within 1.5 weeks of stopping, i have them probably worse than ever. felt tired and lazy most of the time while i was on it and had trouble focusing. not worth the side effects for minimal improvement. hope you have better luck."
