It works well guys! And don't worry too much about the sun, as I took it while I was in Africa and never had problems (I'm a fair-skinned and brown hair, if it makes any difference).

ive been on doxy for 3 days now to clear up pityriasis lychenoides chronica. it appears to be working after only 3 days but i feel kinda light headed. i suppose i could be drinking more water tough. and it is possible i may be experiencing early stages of Swine flu but im not sure. anyone know?

been taking doxycycline mono 100 mg once a day for almost 2 months. no side effects. no upset stomach. nothing.

face is totally under control. cheeks slowly healing. only little issue is the bacne - taking longer to heal up. any suggestions? i don't want to do the whole 'prolonged use of antibiotics' which can be bad but i definitely need to keep taking it for it

Ive been doxycycline twice a day + epiduo gel at night for about 5 months now. I have oily skin and I generally JUST get blackheads on the forehead and cheeks. My forehead completely cleared up but my cheeks have only now just started to show signs of clearing. Not sure what I should do. =/ It seems like it'll take forever for my cheeks to clear up.

My doctor prescribed me tetracycline, but I did not want to take it. He switch my medicine to doxycycline. I took the medicine for 3 month and quickly started noticing the result. I've stop taking the medicine and my skin is back to normal - I rarely get acne. In fact, I never did, after taking this medicine. It's has been 3 months now.

DO NOT TAKE ON AN EMPTY STOMACHE!
Eat lots, drink water, and then take it right after you have finished your meal/beverage.

Never take Doxycycline on an empty stomach. Get full, Have water, and then take it. My bottle said take either an hour before a meal... or 2-3 hours after a meal, which is wrong. I took it (by mistake) on an empty stomach and puked in about 10 minutes. My cousins have done the same and it works for them.
