Minocycline and sinus infection
Common Questions and Answers about Minocycline and sinus infection

m sorry you are continuing to worry about the possibility of infection. The minocycline you are taking for acne would have reduced your risk for infection if you were taking it at the time of exposure.
As far as treatment is concerned, minocycline can cure chlamydia but the dose you are taking is a bit lower than what might be recommended for chlamydial infection. Nonetheless, if you were infected and tool the drug for a month as you have, I would expect it to cure chlamydia.
t really understand what the connection was, but I wanted to know if I could trust my HIV test results even though I am on Minocycline, and was for months before, during, and after my HIV test.
Also, just to ease my mind, is there ANYTHING else that could effect the validity of an HIV test (aspirin, menstrual cycle, diet, anything)?
Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate your help.

I have had several friends, on several different occasions, have panic attacks and/or feelings of being "out of it" when they mixed marijuana and minocycline. Try smoking a much smaller amount instead, or skipping your minocycline dose (with dr. supervision) to see if you still feel the same negative effects when you smoke. Good luck to you!
I took your advise and went to the eye doc today. He dialated my eyes and did a color-blind test and a peripheral vision test. I past both. My right eye showed vision loss, and decreased brightness. It seemed a light bulb was turned off when I only used my right eye to see the color test and the bulb came on when I only used my left eye. I see the doc again on friday. In the mean time, he has me taking suafed and Ibuprofen.
the author of that text appears to be comparing *only* doxcycline and minocycline to each other, and *not* comparing them to other antibiotics.
This is important because comparing only two drugs that have similar reactions with Lyme bacteria may leave out other treatment possibilities that could be significantly better than either doxy and minocycline.
I have been reading that minocycline can cause black thyroid in some people and can take up to a year to reverse after stopping medication. it is given to teenagers for acne and my son was on it for 6 mths twice a day having severe headaches yet the dr ignored it until I googled and realized that it could be effecting his thyroid and causing the headaches since those were listed as symptoms and wondered if anyone else ran into that.....his thyroid test did come back 4.6 with the top normal of 4.
I could not find a testing location in our rural location, read about Gonorrhea and knew that was my issue, I had discharge, pain while urinating. I took some of her Minocycline 200 MG for two days and three days of 100MG ALL SYMTOMS disappeared. I abstained from sex and took my first appointment at testing center in the city which was last Friday. They gave me a shot of antibiotics and two huge antibiotic pills, and did all the testing.
I have a constant yeast infection. I have taken a perscribed medication for it and over the counter and neither made it go away. Now I feel I have to choose between my skin and my sexual reproductive health. Is there a way to releive the yeast infection while on the antibiotics, or am I forced to stop acne treatment? I should mention I live in a remote town with no MD, I only get to see him once a year.
Also, he gave me 3 months worth of treatment - After this cycle can I stop taking it?
I know you said this thread is ended but could you please take a look at this and tell me what you think of it and could this data indicate that minocycline could indeed slow down replication making it possible for delayed seroconversion, which would make my test at the 5 month mark inaccurate.

This is where all of my anxiety has came from.
The test was a rapid antibody test. Can someone please weigh in and tell me could minocycline possibly be used as a PEP drug for HIV? And if so, should I be worried about my status? Should I test again?
I'm worried because I read on the web minocycline is an investigatory drug for HIV that has been shown to reduce replication of the virus.

Please advise. Any replies are helpful. Thanks.
3% not as strong as the retin a mico 0.1% i was on and minocycline 100 mg daily to 40 mg a day oracea for only redness and not pimples would help ?seems like it would make it worse..please explain...
Now have finished 2 yrs on daily antibiotic (minocycline and levaquin). Was doing well but have very unsightly and widespread blackening of skin, which does not clear up I believe my darkened cataracts developed as my skin blackened, and that this blackening residue is possibly in all my organs.
Have recently dropped back to single minocycline/day (100 mg) but believe cysts may already be redeveloping.
On September 20th of last year I had unprotected sex with a possible bisexual girl. Three months later I went and got tested on December 10th and came out negative. It is now January 18th and I am now seeing symptoms of sore throat, oral thrush, diarrhea, on and off fever and swollen neck lymph nodes. I am scheduled for another test on the 21st of January. How likely is it that I now have HIV, and I somehow took longer than the three months for my antibodies to appear? Please answer quickly.
So they are unrelated. Secondly minocycline is an antibiotic used for bacterial infection and not viral ones. Hence if you had improvement after minocycyline then possibility is that it is bacterial. To confirm the diagnosis, it is better to get a culture sensitivity of the bumps and to rule out any fungal infection, get a KOH examination of the skin scrapings of the bumps done. This will confirm the diagnosis and specific treatment can be planned.
I have has vertigo for 5 months now, I have seen 2 ENT specialist the 1st said that I had stress and that was the cause, I am not under stress, the second said I had brain trama, I know I don't. Then I saw a GP and she told me I had a ear infection. I was put on antbiotic's and I was feeling great and then I had a allergic reaction to them and I was taken off them by another doctor who said that the ear infection had cleared up. I am dizzy all over again. I am losing my mind!
My doctor prescribed me minocycline and I started taking it for about four days and then found out I was pregnant. I have stopped taking it since, but now I've read some of the birth defects that it causes and I'm really scared. I'm only about 5 weeks and was just wondering if someone could give some more in depth info on the possibilities of something happening to my baby. I was taking 100mg twice a day.
Three days later culture was ALL NEGATIVE. Kept taking Minocycline during the wait and by this time my symptoms were mostly gone... EXCEPT a mild discomfort in the perineum... (prostate) By this time, because I doubled-down, I ran out of medicine (after 9 days), so I went back in for more, after reading all the horror stories about chlamydia getting into your prostate and then you're in deep ****. Doc gave me 4-5 more days of Minocycline @ 100mg/day.
So getting on Minocycline is a win win. Minocycline is also combined with Copaxone for greater improvement. Terry Walhs using Minocycline, and so does the Wheldon Procotol. Mino can enter the BBB which MS patients are known to have a damaged BBB, mine was still intact but I did have 5 o-bands of inflammation according to my LP.
I am against DMDs because interferon-betas have pretty been proven to not do much.
This could be an autoimmune issue, couldn't it?
Were you doing anything differently in 2003 when this first started up, or shortly before this ... than you were before.
One autoimmune causing chemical to AVOID is 2-butoxyethanol and exposure would look like 'the flu' or just flatulence and 'the sniffles' or sinus congestion. It is very frequently found in home cleaning products, paint, etc. What kind of work do you do?
She put me on Augmentin for 8 days for a sinus infection and said that she saw fluid behind my left eardrum. After the 8th day of pain, the augmentin did NOTHING and I went to the ER. The ER doctor was concerned about my family history and me being a smoker, and recommended a CAT scan and a spinal tap! I had both. I also insisted he do a full sinus scan. The CAT and Tap came back normal. My sinuses were a "little cloudy" on the left side.
