So I’m 14 and today my dermatologist gave me Tetracycline and recommended i use it for about a month and see what happens. But after, I looked on here, and saw that many people complained about harsh side effects, like discoloration of teeth and major nausea. My doctor didn’t mention this though. He just said to not drink or eat any dairy products within 2 hours after taking the meds.

So what I wanted to ask, is all this stuff true? Should I still start taking Tetracycline? And what side effects have you experienced (if any)?

Oh and also, I’ve tried Proactive and Clearasil, and those somewhat worked, but I wanted a more effective medication. And my acne isn’t even that bad, its quite mild. But I thought I should just clear it up now, cause it gets pretty bad sometimes.

Thanks!

Does it have a calming effect at all? And can you really tell a difference? And if so when can you tell? I get crazy and i need something to help, whether it be anxiety meds or yaz, somethings gotta give…

a few weeks ago i started feeling a very slight itch in my urethra and a very small about of clear discharge.i saw my dr and she said it may be gonorrhea or chlymidia and started me on a 10 day scripts of doxycycline.after a few day’s the symptoms disappeared and have about 2 day’s of the meds left.the problem is i have just started talking to a girl and of course havent done anything but was wondering about how long i should wait.should i be fine by the time i complete the meds?

I have bad acne and a dermatologist has recommended Accutane. Accutane has been known to cause birth defects if you get pregnant while taking this medication, but are there lingering effects that may affect a fetus even if I stop taking the meds before I conceive?

I am currently taking 300mg of Wellbutrin and 20 mg of Celexa daily but want to get off of these meds and take Yaz for PMDD. How can I safely taper off the Wellbutrin and Celexa and should Yaz be sufficient for PMDD by itself? I don’t want to stay on all three if at all possible.

I have a huge zit right by my noses. I am wondering if there are any things you can do to help it like make a cream or do something. And yes i know about Clearasil and acne meds but i don’t want to use them.

I am taking this medication for chlamidya and my boyfriend and I are unsure of when we will be able to make love again. Not sure if its when I have finished the meds or if I have to wait 1 week after I have finished them.

I’m current on doxycycline hyclate for acne for three months, but was wondering if when I go back to the doctor and stop taking this antibiotic, isn’t the bacteria going to come back again — along with my acne? If so what’s the point of taking my meds?
