Common Questions and Answers about Minocycline prostatitis

Whether or not your problem started with chlamydia, at this point your symptoms are most suggestive of non-bacterial prostatitis (if the problem were due to any bacteria at all, minocycline likely would have resolved the problem). Or perhaps no prostate problem at all; your symptoms are typical for the chronic pelvic pain syndrome (which used to be considered a form of prostatitis, but may not involve the prostate).
I see a lot of posts on internet, and seem my symptom like chronic Prostatitis, if this is a chronic bacterial Prostatitis, I still have chance to transmit to my partner.
I am so scare, It is possible the STD test have false negative if I only have urine test right?
Long story short, gave and received unprotected oral sex August 6th. Sore throat two weeks later. Convinced the Dr. to treat me for STDs. Received a shot of Rosephin 250 and a single 1 gram dose of Azithromyzcin for possible Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Two days later, my penis tip began to tingle. The next week I convinced my Dr. to treat me for Trich and Syphilis. Took the two shots of Penicillin-G and Flagyl. Also convinced the Dr.
I also asked about non-specific bacteria and Mycoplasma Genitalium, she said that the importance of these varies according to which doctor you talk to. The course of minocycline I was on for prostatitis would have knocked off any Mycoplasma that had previously been in my system, as would the previous Azithromycin I'd been given for NSU before that.
after he asked about meds, and I said I was on long term MINOCYCLINE for acne. He said it was rare, but notorious for causing exactly what I had happen to me. I was stunned....this wasn't just 'dizziness' ...it was incapacitating!! He said he had seen it before, and that once it has happened, (even though you stop the mediction) you could have occasional 'flashbacks' so to speak, occur for a long time ,or not at all.
This time I went to Urologist. He suspected Prostatitis and asked me to undergo TRUS (Trans-rectal Ultrasonic). The finding was Chronic Inflammation in Prostate region and also calcification in ejaculatory duct. The urologist put me on daily dose of Minocycline Hydrochloride. He also gave me Alfuzosin Hydrochloride (alpha blocker) as a suppliment, but later advised me against it as I started feeling heavy headedness and tiredness.
In the meantime, I had intercourse with my wife.
I would pretreat with 2 weeks of minocycline and then go with 2 weeks of Lefamulin followed by 2 more weeks of minocycline.
Minocycline is one of the listed drugs that cause vitamin B12 malabsorption. Minocycline also has anti-thyroid effects.
Long term treatment with minocycline (at least 100 mg/day) can cause hyperpigmentation of the skin, nails, bones, thyroid, teeth, palate, eye, heart valves. Thyroid cancer is frequently found with black thyroid syndrome (macroscopic black discolouration of the thyroid gland).
Hello Peter,
It usually helps us if you have a question or want to share a potential risk.
Please see a physician for the correct dosage and correct diagnosis.
I was prescribed minocycline for my acne on the 21st of December and started taking it that day, found out on the 27th of January that I am pregnant with my first baby and I am driving myself crazy with worry! Everything I've read is telling me that minocycline is extremely bad to take while pregnant or becoming pregnant.
I was diagnosed with Lyme based on a positive Western Blot test and a Sunnybrook test that was indicative on the 93 band (I think that was the band) I am on Minocycline and was wondering if others out there were also on it and if it worked for them. I seem to be getting better. There are ups and downs but I am able to move much better than anytime in the past 7 and a half years. Just wondering how long one has to be on the drug and if it really makes you better.
I started minocycline feb 10 and conceived my baby feb 21 but i didnt stop the medicine until march 9 ( only because i didnt know i was preg) im 7 weeks now and i just wanna know has anybody else expericed this with a positive outcome ?

I have all of the symptoms, no money to get tested. I do have some old minocycline and tetracycline from old acne.
I was off minocycline for five days before I started birth control,as starting will the minocycline still be in my system and effect the birth control?
Thanks in advance for your response.
I'm a 19 year old male that had a potential exposure 5 months ago with a female who is known to get around. The sex was unprotected.
For the last year, I've been on 100mg of minocycline per day to treat acne. I looked up that minocycline is an investigatory drug for HIV because it can potentially reduce replication and activation in latent infected HIV cells, primary CD4+ cells.
I know that you have already answered questions about antibiotics affecting HIV tests, but I wanted to ask this specific question. I am on 50mg of Minocycline twice a day, every day, on a long term basis for acne. When I searched the internet, I found a handful of results about Minocycline affecting HIV patients.
ve read on here that a person taking PEP should test after 3 months of being off PEP to obtain a conclusive result. I took minocycline for 4 months after possible exposure. Then got tested 3 and a half weeks later (around 5 months). Negative result. 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 have been on Minocycline for acne for well over a year. Usually I take 50mg twice a day, although for the last month have been on 75mg twice a day. If by some freak chance I had rectally contracted Gonorrhea or Chlamydia, would this antibiotic take care of it?
I have acne all over the back of my head and on my back it hurts to touch in some spots and to dry my hair.
Hi. I have been on minocycline since I was 21 (now 29) for acne. I recently went to a new family practice Dr. While I was there he noticed I was on mino and asked how long I'd been taking it. I told him my acne treatment history. He pointed out that my shines were green (look like bruises). He asked how long I'd had those "bruises". I replyed that they'd been there longer then normal. Months maybe.
I was taking 1800 mgs a day of Trileptal in my first 5 weeks of pregnancy. Minocycline 100 mgs . Should I be concerned that there are abnormalities or did I possibly quick the medication in time?
A clinical trial led by doctors Luanne Metz and Wee Yong shows the common acne medicine minocycline can slow the process of MS in people who have experienced initial symptoms of the debilitating autoimmune disease. The clinical trial that led to minocycline’s proved efficacy was conducted at the university’s Hotchkiss Brain Institute at the Cumming School of Medicine.
The results of the trial are to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday.
