medicine making me dizzy
I went to the dermatologist about a month ago and he perscribed me minocycline 100mg before bed. when i wake up in the morning, i am so dizzy. he told me that there was a slim chance that that would happen. It eventually passes after about 2-3 hours after i wake up. im afraid that when school starts and i have to walk to class that im gonna get dizzy. i have 5 pills left until my next refill. which means that ill take my last pill on July 30th. i dont know if this would help but im 15/f. I have an appointment to see my dermatologist on august 30th. and one more refill until then. i know that when i take myself off of this medication, the dizziness will stop. So i know it wont affect me long-term. so what should i do?

Ask your dermatologist if he has any other medications with fewer side effects.

hey i'm in the EXACT same situation! i'm supposed to take it twice a day. He told me it was for the summer mostly because I can still be in the sun while i'm taking it so i think once school starts, they will take you off of it. It's one of the side affects... what i do is probably not right in medical terms... but i take it once every other day when i know i won't need to feel my best. or i just don't take it. I've been procrastinating on it but i think you should call your derm and ask them to take you off of it and prescribe something else. <3

I think you should be prescribed something else
maybe ask your doctor that.
Because usually people who get the rare side affects it effects them really hard.
So I would talk to your doctor about switiching the medication because its really not making you feel any better.

You are having an adverse reaction to your prescribed medication.
You need to call your doctor immediately, as in RIGHT NOW!
You should never, ever try to stop, start, or adjust the dosages of prescription medications without your doctor's orders. You could make yourself very sick or cause yourself permanent harm.
So, get on that phone to your doctor!
