minocycline causing strange heart pains in startup, could this be peridcarditis induced, i think it was halted on time the 50 mg twice daily at the hospital under doctors supervision
i almost got better, but the heart pains are unacceptable, i am still experiencing some light pains, but i think disaster has been avoided!!!

> i almost got better, but the heart pains are unacceptable
I agree with you and would most certainly consider chest pains that might be from heart issues to be an unacceptable side effect of any medication. It's really too bad that minocycline seems to be affecting you this way, too, because there seems to be growing evidence to support its use as an adjunct to antipsychotics in schizophrenia and related disorders.
I hope that the light pains that you're still experiencing will subside soon.
Do you have any ideas as to what you and your doctors might do next treatment wise?

Yeah, trying to convince a doctor to allow you to discontinue medications can be a challenge, even if you want to take a different medication instead of what you want to discontinue. How much Seroquel are you taking? Are you also taking Abilify? If so, how much? I'm wondering if maybe discontinuing the Seroquel might be possible if your doctor increases your Abilify. It's just something to think about, assuming that you're not already at the recommended maximum dose of Abilify.
