Seen improvement symptoms and conditions

I think maybe you all need to consider - The side affects you mention could be because you are a woman!! The following side affects that women search for and try to find answers for are all typical symptoms that I have had all my life as a woman. Whether on birth control, off birth control, pregnant or not. My life circumstance, relationship, age all make a difference. At any given time I could blame these symptoms on "birth control" but I don't think it is that simple.
-anxiety/mood swings/erratic behaviour
-headaches
-weight gain
-cramps, water retention, swelling etc.
Anyway, I suggest you all try to be reasonable and consider other possible causes of your symptoms? Exercise, eating right, relaxation, relationship building, all of these things can eleviate MOST of these symptoms. By the way, been on Aviane and switched to Yasmin, no difference, sex drive is actually increased, feel good not symptoms if anything , better now and had serious cystic acne and is now gone.

I've been taking doxy for a month for acne (along with benzaclin and tazorac) and have seen improvement (knock on wood..) I haven't experienced any significant side effects except occasional mild diarrhea. I take a 100 mg pill at 10 AM and 10 PM and try to dring at least a full glass of water with it as recommended. I am also very careful about not lying down within half an hour ot an hour after taking one.
