" Aubrey, doxy helped me for a while, but I eventually had to upgrade to minocycline. From what my dermy told me, doxycycline doesn't carry many risks. Yes, it's an antibiotic, but as an anti-inflammatory, it's a mild antibiotic. I would say go to twice a day if you haven't already and see what that does for you. If you're still not sure about doing that, ask your doctor, and if it stops working, there are plenty other drugs to try. Everybody's different, and you sometimes have to play the field until you find the right treatment for you. Good luck! "
