I have been on the generic minocin for almost 4 weeks now. I have been taking at bedtime MWF. Question is should I take this alone? I end up taking it with all my other nightly vitamins/supplements. Is that a problem? Should I take the minocycline away from anything else? I’ve been taking it with my fish oil, lysine, LDN etc. What should I do about dosing…with or without other meds? with or without food?
Thanks!

I think it irritated my stomach layer on lying position so started taking at day time 2 hours away from supplements and food.
Thanks
