You would have to take it for a few weeks to really notice the effects. Minocycline would give you similar effects and isn't quite as strong as doxy. I think as long as you keep the dose low, you should be ok. When I took minocycline for skin issues, they gave me 3 refills, which I believe was about 3 months worth of treatment, but I only did it long enough to clear my skin and then I quit (3-4 weeks). That was long before I had an awareness of this forum and the effects of birth control and all of the other nasty things I had done to myself in the name of modern medicine!Liver consistently breaks me out. I have tried calf liver, chicken liver, dessicated liver pills all with the same results. Also tried supplementing topical retinyl palmitate which did not cause breakouts but after reading the anti-vitamin A stuff I backed off. I did wonder if there was some connection with iron with the breakouts from liver consumption. Vitamin E also does this to me and I haven't been able to figure that one out either... I have seen other people report breakouts from liver and vitamin E so I know I am not alone there.
Do you know how long a 40mg dose of doxycycline is usually taken? I recently tried to ask my doctor for it but they would only write a script for minocycline and some people have said it messed them up on the forum so I never filled it.
I think if you are feeling desperate, I would go with the minocycline before the accutane and like Peachy indicated, use the S.Boulardii to mitigate the effects of any fungal overgrowth. This may be enough to get you to a better place and put the fire out, so-to-speak.
Do you have access to raw milk and have you ever tried it? If so, what did it do to your skin?
