> Scott seriously the month I spent in the hospital getting first rocephin via pic line then the oral biaxin xl never a Herxheimer reaction. I had absolutely no side effects. Nor to doxycycline but the minocycline I did dizzyness and headaches. So the dermatologist took me off and put me on topical. So I don't believe in the herxheimer reaction at least for me. Phillipa
Again, minocycline is not an antibiotic. It is a chemical substance with a bunch of different biological actions, only one of which is antibiotic. It has properties that are anti-inflammatory. It has properties that are neuroprotective. It has properties that are antiglutamatergic. It also has properties that are antidepressant. In fact, minocycline tests positive in lab tests screening for antidepressants.
For how long did you take minocycline?
How would you describe the headaches that you experienced?
