I have acne medication, but it makes me dizzy?

Question

So, what happens is I get random headaches, and whenever I stand up, I get really dizzy, everything goes blurry, and my head throbs.. so i have to lean against something when it happens so my head gets focused again.

It I only noticed that the medication (they're pills, btw) has been doing this, because I used to get this before.. but stopped for a while, and recently just started back on them again.. and it's worse, as if my head throbs 24/7.

I can't go to my doctor who prescriped them to me, because he recently passed away :(

I'm just gonna stop taking them again, but I'm just curious why it's doing this? I heard certain ones do something similar, but that starts with an A. Mine involves, gen-minocycline, minocycline HCL, and orng/ellip/m? ( so says the bottle )

So what's the problem here?

( I do realize Ive poosted this twice, but Im trying two different categories)

Answer 2

You're having some major side effects.

Yes, they go away after a week or two.  You just need to keep taking them regularly, so that your body gets used to them again. Then the symptoms will subside.

Your body just may be sensitive to medication.

There's nothing wrong with that. It's just good knowledge for you and your doctors.  It's something you need to just keep in mind when taking a new medication.

First of all, you need to see a new doctor. Obviously since your previous one has passed on. (rip)  

Let this new doctor know what's going on.  He/she may have some ideas, or simply want to put you on something different.

Second of all, these side effects, as I said above, will subside in a little bit.  If you're going to stop taking them, and try again in a week, you're going to go through what you're going through now.  

Either continue on them, allowing your body to adjust, and the symptoms will go away, or  go to a new doctor.  

Either way, good luck!
