Hi, having read (and been delighted by) Scott and Emme's rather encouraging results on minocycline I decided to try myself to treat ongoing low mood/apathy.
Unfortunately after two nights taking just 50 and then 100mg I have had to give up (temporarily) due to terrible anxiety, insomnia, nausea and low mood. I have read things regarding a herxeimer reaction to such drugs but it is hard for me to discern (a) does such a thing exist and (b)what is a herx reaction and what are merely side effects.
Thinking of starting again but it is a bit worrying when this kind of thing happens! Please note that my reaction may not be typical (although I have read similar anecdotal cases) I often have bizzare reactions to drugs and have CFS type things going on as well.
Regards
Rover
