Looking for personal use of people here who are combining a dmard along with the minocin, do you still get benefit from the antibiotic also? Would love to hear advice, personal stories, or any knowledge of this being done. Also would love to hear of any experience with sulfasazine?
Hi mkay
I was on sulfasalazine for a few years before I heard about AP. Took about 3 months to kick in but put me into remission for 3/4 years. There were side effects and my AP doc says the ab property of it obviously worked and the sulfa component probably did me damage. If you click on my testimonial in my sig line, there is more info about my experience with this.Be well! Lynnie

I have not used sulfasalazine, but I have used plaquenil and minocin for more than 5 years now. For awhile I was down to a very low dose of plaquenil but some inflammation returned last spring and I increased the plaquenil to a more traditional dose. The combination has worked well for me. I lead a pretty healthy, normal life –not perfect, but close enough.

How long have you been on Minocin? And what have you done for your RA besides take Minocin? I see that you are taking probiotics, which is good. Are you taking any other medications or supplements, and have you made any changes to your diet?

For example:
Is the Minocin not working as you’d hoped?
What are you still dealing with in terms of symptoms?
Phil’s question about how long you’ve been taking it is very pertinent.
Are you on Minocin the brand or a generic minocycline? That might also have a bearing.This kind of information and anything else about your current situation will help people give you more useful responses to your question.
Be well! Lynnie
