> Minocycline does have quite a few side effects some tolerable and some not so much. I couldn't handle the dizziness. Given for peri oral dermatitis. I was told to stop it. Aren't there different ways like even motrin to decress inflammation? Phillipa
I have read the entire article for which Phil posted the link to the abstract. Anti-inflammatory properties are just one mechanism by which it may be acting. The doctor who suggested it for me was thinking of its activity on the glutamate system, although it could be a combination of mechanisms that accounts for its potential effectiveness. Anyway, it's working pretty well for me, and it feels a whole lot cleaner than any AD I've tried. I was lucky in not getting the dizziness that Phillipa did, although it did take a while for me to titrate up to the dose I'm at now because it was just too stimulating at first.
