Recent Minocycline Hydrochloride Side Effects

I am taking this drug, Minocycline Hydrochloride for a groin (potential) abcess. It is not clearing up my lump, and it's making me feel very melancholy and a bit 'off'. My thinking isn't real sharp and I just feel blah. My daughter said she hasn't seen me like this before and keeps asking me what's wrong. Now, I know it's this drug making me feel depressed.

I am taking 100mg 2x a day of Minocycline to treat my acne. About 2 weeks after the start of this medication, I gained 10 pounds virtually overnight. I know it was that fast because I see a weight loss doctor weekly and I'm on a very precise diet and exercise plan and it I was fine until about day 14. I went to bed the night before and woke up the next morning with an additional 10 lbs. Right now, I've been taking it for about 6 weeks and have managed to keep the weight gain to a minimum average a week by adding additional workouts to my regimen for a total gain of 14 lbs. Although it's treating the acne very well, the money I've spent to lose 53 lbs over the course of a year just to turn around and gain 14 in a matter of weeks is extremely frustrating. I did not have this side effect with Doxcy, but sun exposure was causing severe burns so we switched meds. When I return to the doctor in a couple of weeks, I will see if there is an alternative solution.

I was given a 30 day supply of minocycline from my doc to treat my eczema. At first, no side effects and eczema did clear up. About 1 week in, I started to feel physically run down. Second week I began to feel not just physically, but also mentally down. By week 3 I was in the throws of full on horrible depression. With one week left to go I stopped taking anymore of my 100 mg pills. After 2 days of going off minocycline, I feel so much better. Really, it's like the difference between day and night. No doubts what soever that this stuff causes depression.

Minocycline Hydrochloride Chemical Information

minocycline hydrochloride - The hydrochloride salt form of minocycline, a broad-spectrum, semi-synthetic tetracycline antibiotic with antimicrobial properties. Minocycline hydrochloride exerts its bacteriostatic effect by binding to bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and prevents binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to mRNA on the ribosomes during elongation step of protein translation. This leads to an inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis and consequently cell growth.
