Question:
Two years ago my dermatoligist prescribed me generic minocylcine capsules (40mg). After about a month and a half to two months of being on them I became quite ill. First, I broke out in a rash. The rash itched very badly and began on my scalp and soon begin to appear on other parts of my body. The patches were about 6 inches or so, asymmetrical and very bumpy. After a few days I developed mono-like symptoms I was drained of energy with the occasional mild fever. I saw several doctors and none of them could find anything wrong with me, but one prescribed me about seven different medicines and said I should stop taking all other medicines. After about two weeks I was mostly back to normal and took the minocycline for another month, problem free.
Exactly a week ago I began taking Dynacin (100 mg) which is a tetracycline like before, and I've just noticed a small area of bumps on the back of my arm similar to what I experienced earlier.
Answers:
I had the same thing happen because the dosage of tetracycline was too high. You might want to check with your doctor on that. Also, be sure that the drugs haven't passed their expiration dates, because they can be toxic if taken when expired. Good luck!!
