I have been taking this orally for about a month, and along with three face creams, my acne has cleared! I have fortunately not had to experience any side effects. Published: October 24, 2007 ::

Prior to taking Doryx, I would usually have anywhere from 5-10 large pimples on my face. I was prescribed Doryx after seeing a dermatologist. After about a month on the drug, I noticed a significant reduction in the amount of acne and after two months, was about 95% cured of problem and continue to be now a year later. This drug worked a miracle on my skin! I've had acne for over 10 years and have never had alot of success with topical medications. When I talk to people, I feel like they are looking at me and not my acne anymore. The occasional side effect I experienced were cramps when I took this drug on an empty stomach.

The only problem i had was the side effect of all or most antibaotics i had a very persistent yeast infection. But taking the medication was worth it, this is the only thing that has help my adult acne. Published: October 28, 2007 ::

I started taking Doryx about 3 months ago. My dermatologist started me out with a 2 weeks sample. Then I found a website....http://www.wcrx.com/products/doryx/index.php, that offers a $50 rebate. I pay $60 for 90 day supply. So I really only had to pay $10. It works really well. I have seen a reduction in pimples and those I do get are very small and are gone within a day. I did get a yeast infection during the first month on it. Took 2 Diflucan and started taking a probiotic and I haven't had that problem since. I suggest this medication, if you have tried other oral antibiotics and they are not working. I am also having Beta-peels, which are improving my complexion. This is a pricey medication, but it is well worth it. I got my rebate check 4 weeks after submitting it (keep your original reciept). Make sure you eat before you take it. I have never had any stomach issues with it, but I know others have. Published: July 10, 2008 ::

Doryx has been a helpful drug and has helped clear my acne. It cleared about 80 percent of it... The side effects are very confusing though... i have to take it with food or it will upset my stomach.. when i mean it upsets my stomach, i mean that it feels as though i am having "heartburn"... it also causes shortness of breath while i run... but it did the job and i am happy with the results Published: June 08, 2008 ::

I was initially prescribed a generic tatracycline and I had severe side effects, muscle and joint pain, headache. And it didn't work. I was then given Doryx delayed release tablets. The dr. said to give it at least 7 days, double dose. Lo and behold, it worked and no side effects. My rosacea was very very bad, made worse by any type of alcohol (sulfites)and any type of exposure to hot temperature. Doryx AND a topical ointment made it better. Also using Cerave and Cetaphil facial products helped a whole lot and made my skin very clean and very smooth. Published: February 15, 2008 ::

Yes, Doryx works very well, it cleared up the redness of my zits and stopped the acne from popping up, but i'm very active in sports and this drug made me tired and short of breath. Published: November 22, 2007 ::
