Hi,
I've been on doxycycline for over a month now and MD switched me to minicycline for reduced sunburn potential.
I went thru the few weeks of nausea and dizziness with doxy and now that it is just better I am layed flat from the mini.
I am thinking of going back to the doxy. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!

Firefly, do you have bad neurological symptoms? If so, the Minocycline should be more effective than Doxy. Mino is definitely a tough one to take, but if you can get through the rough spots, it might help you quite a bit.

Yes, I have "MS" but he originally put me on doxy in the cloudy season. I have a call into the doc, but wanted to see what the general sence out there is.

I did 5 weeks doxy and my brainfog disappeared. I did 4 months of mino and felt little improvement.
