Hi Soheila,

Make sure you're taking a good quality probiotic, avoid sugar and foods

containing yeast and drink lots of water when taking the Minocin -- the acid

reflux problem is worse if the mino doesn't go all the way down. Also, I find

taking a couple of tablespoons of northern milled flax every day helps a great

deal with stomach upset, acid reflux and most other digestive system problems.

As a plus, the oils in northern milled flax are supposed to be beneficial for

rheumatic disease. Keep the flax in an opaque refrigerated container to

optimize its effectiveness. Hang in there, most of the initial side effects

from taking mino minimize and/or go away as your system adjusts.

a,

You say that " most of the initial side effects from taking mino minimize

and/or go away as your system adjusts " but I've been on the AP since

August 2006 and I am having more nausea now than in the beginning. Do

you or anyone else have any suggestions for someone in my situation?

Thanks,

Roneice

Hi Roneice,

I'm sorry to hear you're having such a tough time. Are you sure the nausea is

connected to taking the Minocin? If so and you're already taking a good

probiotic and watching your diet, I'd also suggest you try taking northern

milled flax. If that doesn't help, then I would try taking the mino with some

food. It works best on an empty stomach but its efficacy isn't reduced too much

by food so if you need to eat something with it to reduce the nausea, then

that's what you'll probably need to do. Avoid taking anything dairy with it but

a small amount of a carb, such as some crackers, might help you to feel better

and wouldn't reduce its effectiveness too much. I hope you feel better, there's

nothing worse than nausea as far as I'm concerned -- I had 9 months of it 24/7

when pregnant and I'd taking being in pain over that any day. :}

Hugs

Thanks for your response. My biggest problem is the morning dose. The

evening dose is typically fine with only an occasional upset. But I've

tried everything from plenty of fluid and/or food to minimal fluid

and/or food. I will definitely try the flax but if you would, please

let know if you take it before or after you take the antibiotics and

depending on when, how long between the flax and the antibiotic. Also,

do I mix the flax with anything or am I supposed to down 2 teaspoons and

chase it with water.

Thanks again.

Roneice

Roniece, I only take minocin in the evening, to avoid the worse side effects

I get in the morning.

If I feel I need 2 doses a day for a few days, I take a dose an hour or more

after an early lunch, and then the second dose 30-45 minutes or so before

bedtime. (don't take it less than 30 minutes before lying down.)

Lunch always protects me from the side effects (nausea and metallic taste)

better than breakfast. I suppose if the after lunch lunch dose is a little

reduced, but the before bed dose should be full effect, because it is easily

3 hours after dinner.

I try to get the doses as far apart as possible, but it is usually about 10

hours, rather than 12.

What a great idea! It never occurred to me to take my meds during lunch

hours rather than breakfast hours. I would probably only need to adjust

the Nizoral by about an hour.

I am on 3 antibiotics Doxy (Mino not a good idea since I have Lupus),

Alinia and Amoxicillin. Twice a day I take 200 mg each of Doxy and

Alinia but only on Monday Wednesday and Friday. I take 200 mg of

Amoxicillin but only the first seven days of the month as I am pulsing

this antibiotic.

Thanks for the great idea.

Hi Roneice,

You can take the flax pretty much any time of day so just experiment to see what

works best for you. I saw from another post that you take doxy instead of mino

and doxy is more prone to cause nausea and probably should be taken with food,

i.e. after you've eaten something. The idea of trying to take it after lunch

instead of before breakfast is probably a good idea to try. As for how to take

flax, you can sprinkle on some food like cereal or a salad, mix it with a fluid

or just swallow a couple of tablespoons with some water, which is how I usually

do it. It doesn't taste bad, rather nutty but it is dry and grainy so some

fluid helps to wash it down.

A few soda crackers or piece of dry toast will help immensely with nausea.

Neither one has much calcium in it so it will not bond with the minocin. I

have always taken a few crackers with my minocin and it has worked very well

for me this way. Martha

Hi sohelia! Geoff here.

You wrote, and Roniece concurred:

" I have started taking minocine 100 mg twice a day just

last week. my stomac is upst... "

Try dropping the dosage to that recommended in the AP, 100mg 2x/day on M-W-F, or

100mg 1x/day M-W-F.

The dose you're on is the one developed by Dr. Trentham that essentially looks

to Minocin as a less-dangerous anti-inflammatory, not necessarily an effective

treatment for the root cause. That doesn't mean it's not effective for the root

cause, it's just the approach they took and thanks to it, we have a much easier

time getting the Rx's for the AP.

Hi Geoff

you mean it doesn't make any difference if i take the

minocin only 3 days a week or whole week?. I have SD

and the only hope i have is antibiotic therapy.

Lindi,

I really don't know. I've never been asked that question before. However,

let me suggest you contact Natren's. They not only make some of the best

probiotics around, but they provide counsel and support while you are using

them. They should have your answer.
