Avatar f tn 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).
Avatar m tn I am newly diagnosed with HIV last February of this year, had my cd4 count (t-cells) checked and it's still good at 462. i've been exercising regularly and taking 1000mg of vitamin C and centrum multivatimins once a day. just recently I developed red spots on my face and on my forearms, I had it checked with my doctor and told me it was caused by an allergy and is now under medications and food observation to figure out which food i am allergic at.
Avatar m tn Feeling horrible after starting antibiotics for a long term Lyme infection is really common. I always check out the side effects lists on a new medication so I can pay attention to what's happening to me. Sometimes, it's hard to differentiate side effects from herxing/die off, such as fatigue or stomach upset. But in my own experience, when an antibiotic made me feel like death warmed over, or turned me into an anxious, trembling, unfocused mess, those were herxes.
Avatar f tn Yesterday, after 3 phone calls, I was prescribed Minocycline 100mg # 30. Can you tell me why Doxy is preferred to Minocycline? Does the Doxy work faster than the Mino? I am allergic to NSAIDS if that makes any difference.
Avatar n tn Every day I pray this will be over but I wake up to the continuous pain. I have taken some advice on taking vitamin B12. I would like to know what the suggested dosage would be. Also, I was wondering if anyone ever tried acupuncture with any success. I would appreciate any advice.
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Minocycline for acne by my dermatologist. I started to experience small little thoughts that caused a slight bit of anxiety after taking it for two weeks. From there it just climaxed to the point where every night was spent in a state of extreme anxiety where I was lucky to get any sleep at all. It got to the point where it didn't just happen at night, but it was 4-5 times a day. It was noticeable enough that everyone around me in school took notice of my depression.
Avatar n tn I would get sore throat about twice a year at the minimum until I was about 22 years old (3 years ago). Since I started taking Vitamin C supplements in form of orange juice, etc, haven't had my 'chronic' sore throat since. No clue if this has anything to do with this. Also, another side note, I've also had pilonidal sinus which started just around when my scalp problem started. I've had the surgery for pilonidal last year.
Avatar n tn Is it ok to take vitamin c gummies to help boost my immune system.
Avatar f tn I am a female with genotype 1 - stage one damage and am trying to find Hep C doctor. I live in Fort Worth Texas. I want to persue treatment with the new drugs but am not happy with the doctor I saw today. I currently have some bouts of depression and terrible insomnia. I am treated for my insomnia/anxiety with Temazepam 15mg and Trazodone 50mg. I also take Minocycline 100 mg once daily. The doc I saw today said I could not take ANY of those meds for him to treat me.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.

507935 tn?1217359454 My 18 year old daughter was diagnosed with minocycline induced AIH last October. She was taking minocycline for acne. Her situation sounds very similar to yours. I sent a message to your inbox, thought you may want to correspond with any specific questions you may have.
Avatar m tn I have all of the symptoms, no money to get tested. I do have some old minocycline and tetracycline from old acne.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
