Hey there, I'm going to move this to the anti biotics subforum. =) As for mino, yes, I highly suggest gradually weaning yourself off the medication. Or onto it. But just keep in mind, antibiotics are not the answer and once you come off them, chances are your acne will flare back up. But, if you do so gradually, that will be minimzied. Personally, antibiotics kept me from moderate to mild and I've been mild ever since and I...

Kairasa, as someone I think mentioned, this is very good thread you started. I got hit so hard when I went off antibiotics to try a raw food diet. Then I got more bad pimples and turned to antibiotics just to calm things down while my derm was unreachable. So here I am knowing that when I go off the same cycle will happen. My next good derm appt is not till Dec 22. So the only transition plan I can think of right now is starting the regemin...

Wow. He sounds like an ass. :/ I'd get a doctor who actually cares about you. Some docs will give you whatever works, regardless of the consequences of it later on. Mine is like that. He doesn't really care. My brother's derm put him on anti-biotics, but every few months would switch him around to different types so he wouldn't get immune to any. Just ask him about the accutane.

WOW what a dermatologist I would recommend finding a new doctor! I consider myself lucky to have such a great dermatologist, hes very understanding and ALWAYS takes the time to listen to my concerns and make suggestions on the steps i need to take to get to where i want to be as for as my skin goes. I was on retin-a .025% for 11 years and when i brought up how i felt as if my skin was getting alot more oily lately he upped my strength...

yeah... I dunno I wouldn't say he's an ass or anything haha more like just lacking any kind of personality what-so-ever I was mainly just concerned if taking antibiotics this long could cause any kind of serious side effects. In response to the comment of developing a resistance - wouldn't it just be a resistance to antibiotics used for acne? I mean I've taken antibiotics for other things like ear infections, I assume the...

Hi, My name is "Rwink" and I am writing to let you know that Benzaclin might not be the best choice for acne treatment. The reason for this is that it absorbs into the body through the skin. I never used to subscribe to the following idea, but now I am behind it completely: Anything you put on your skin, you should be comfortable with the idea of ingesting. Benzaclin, when absorbed through the skin over a long period of...

I am on my 5th day in applying clindamycin. So far so good. ------------ A guitar world word of warning here: don't become obsessed with sounding like one particular player and sounding exactly like him. Even if you manage that, the best you can expect from it is to play in a band covering his material and/or be forever known as the guy who 'imitates that other famous guy'.

I was just prescribed Clindamycin today, gonna start using it tonight. I really really hope it works cuz I'm beyond miserable right now. I read that it doesn't keep working, and you become immune...is that true? I know when I was on Benzaclin it worked at first and then stopped. ------------ '10 good reasons to stay alive 10 good reasons that I can't find'

QUOTE (shadie @ Oct 16 2009, 02:08 AM) I feel that this is a total pharmaceutical marketing scam. My derm receives coupons in which I am able to obtain the medication for $20, sweet deal right? Not, so much. It's basically minocycline. The side effects appear to outweight the positive results. I have read lawsuits and other misc reports of this medication inducing lupus and other autoimmune disorders. So far my...

Yeah so I have been on minocycline for just under a year (for the second time, was on it for more than a year in the past as well, about 2 years ago from today i had stopped). So anyway, came home from being out with this new girl I kinda like, look in the mirror, and among new pimples which minocycline seemed to stop working for (partly, still better than itw as without mino) there was a big chunk of my cheek that looked like a faint bruise....
