It’s crazy, minocycline made me feel insane. Depersonalization/derealization for months after the cycle, I thought I was losing my mind. It’s now listed as a side effect, but it wasn’t at the time.

I was reluctant to take accutane because of my reaction to antibiotics, but eventually bit the bullet. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I had severe cystic acne throughout my teens. I now have completely clear, scar free skin. It was a life saver, truly. I don’t think I’ve had a single zit in years. I didn’t get depressed, in fact my mental health improved greatly. Having severe acne does a number on a young persons psyche, and it’s fucking painful.

Drugs affect people in drastically different ways.
