"i&#039;ve been taking minocycline for well over a month now. it does not work instantly like a lot of people say and does take time. i am just now starting to see improvement. as for side effects, i don&#039;t believe i experienced an initially breakout and i never experienced dizziness or nausea. i am still getting breakouts quite frequently but they are not as bad or widespread as before. i&#039;ve also noticed that the redness in my cheeks which had been a problem for a long time has nearly disappeared."
