Hello,
I have been taking a prescribed acne medication called minocycline for about a year now. The pill looks half red, half pink and i take 2 pills a day as my doctor told me told me to (which adds up to 200mg). I have been on this medication now for about a year, and just recently i have developed a case of depersonalization anxiety where i feel life is not a reality and i am detached from myself. I did research, and this type of anxiety is apparently a side affect of the medication. I believe that because I have been on the medication for so long, (which by the way cleared up my acne greatly) that it has given me this anxiety. Can anyone confirm that withdrawal from this medication will help me loose the depersonalization effect and if this has worked for any sufferers of it, or am i just experiencing temporary anxiety.
Thanks,
Zach
