I have been on Minocycline for a while, my dosage is 100 mg twice a day. My doctor told me that if I have flare ups I can play around with my dosage. So, I had a flare up and I took 400 mg per day. After a while, my stomach started feeling really queasy and it feels like I haven't eaten in about a week - it has that empty feeling. Is this normal when you are on high doses of this medicine?
Isotretinoin has many side effects and is normally used to treat severe acne but in low dosages is proven to be effective against papulopustular and phymatous rosacea. Dermatological vascular laser (single wavelength) or Intense Pulsed Light (broad spectrum) machines offer one of the best treatments for rosacea, in particular the erythema (redness) of the skin. ref:http://en.wikipedia.
I took a week off work towards the end and i am feeling much better. Over the 12 weeks i was on quite large dosages of (amoxicillin) antibiotics for about 5 weeks and within the first few weeks I experienced shaking and very slight nervouseness and a little depression. I first throught this was from the sickness but after comming back to work from a week off i got very servere anxiety attacks.
