> My impatience betrayed me. I won't bore you with the details, but my mood has remained somewhat labile, despite restarting minocycline. What I like to call "mood drift" is likely to be a frequent phenomenon for me as I continue treatment. I am going to try to discontinue minocycline again. I don't like the prescribing protocol that makes it necessary to see my doctor once a month for a new script without refills.
I am doing pretty darned well after three days without minocycline. I am not going to run back to it if I feel my mood drift. If I experience an acute relapse into severe depression, I would consider taking a 200 mg loading dose of minocycline in the hopes that it would help me get home okay. Otherwise, I am committed to going without it. I am still enjoying Aruba, and look forward to enjoying myself for the rest of my life, albeit with the otherwise normal situational mood reactions that come while navigating the realities of life.
