I took Minocycline for 6 days and had a bad reaction towards ,,,, numbness(pins and needles) in feet and both joint and muscle pain in hands and feet. I also had some nerve issue in my feet and itching. I stopped taking it and it's been 5 weeks and I still have these aggravated symptoms. Have you heard from these side effects lasting so long after stopping the medication? Thanks

Hello,
Minocycline is not without side effects and it is advisable to use it under a dermatologist’s prescription. It can cause hypersensitivity reaction, hepatic and renal toxicity, tinnitus, staining of teeth, arthritis etc to name a few. I suggest you to take it under a medical supervision and not as such.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
