Hi, Ed.
I agree with everything you just said, but I am reluctant to recommend minocycline over doxycyline to someone because of the hyperpigmentation that can develop during long-term treatment. To treat an infection acutely, I doubt this would be a problem, though. You would know better than me. So far, there is more evidence that minocycline can treat schizophrenia than there is for doxycycline. I really don't know. I think the glutamate thing might be important.
I think it took 1.5 years for me to develop hyperpigmentation on the feet and ankles during minocycline therapy. It is not always reversible. Mine has faded for the most part.
