Anyone on Minocycline? I have been having lows every day all day since starting this medication for acne. Anyone else ever had this happen?

I don't know of any link. I was on it like a year before I was forunate enough to develop a pseudotumor cerebri from it. So no more minocycline for me...

Yikes, I was just reading about that funnygirl and it is not so funny!

Yeah, I'm the 3rd case my dermatologist has seen in his 20 or so years of practice.

Mine is resolving nicely though, and I'll probably only need to see the neurologist one more time.

I have been soooo naseauted since starting the Minocycline too. I figured that was the reason for the lows. I have been really "confused" or foggy headed, and dizzy. Who is to say what "normal" side effects are and what will just pass? I really hate taking meds for anything, this is exactly why. And Funnygrl knowing you were that 10% that had the "rare" side effect makes me really second guess the benefit.
