Hi Bryn,
I'm glad to hear you're doing so much better. Hope the minocycline fits in well with your current combo. I've seen some posts that express concern that it can induce mania, but I don't know of any cases of this. In a minocycline thread from last year, Scott recommended starting at a dose of 50 mg a day, and then trying 50 mg twice a day.

It's best to take it on an empty stomach.

If you're taking an antibiotic long-term, it could have a negative impact on your intestinal flora. It might be a good idea to take Florastor every day. Florastor is saccharomyces boulardii, which is a yeast-based probiotic that isn't killed by antibiotics.
