> I texted my pdoc and asked for 50mgs. I told her a few times I wanted the lowest dose. But she called in 100mgs. Maybe she knows something I don't know. Maybe she just forgot, she is a very busy doctor.

> But I guess I'll be starting out with 100mgs. This makes me a bit more nervous. Also, SLS, do you know the mechanism by which Minocycline can cause depersonalization?Do you know anyone who has experienced this? I think minocycline can produce agitation or activation. Perhaps the derealization is how these things manifest in some people. I don't really know. Can you point me in the direction of the material you saw regarding derealization? Are there any claims that it is irreversible?
For me 100 mg/day was inadequate. 200 mg/day is better. I haven't tried going up higher. Some current studies are using 400 mg/day.
Good luck. Remember, you might feel a little fatigued and perhaps some flat affect in the beginning. In my experience, these things should not linger for more than a week.
