Acne Meds effect weightlifting gains

[num1son]

I have experienced dizziness and unsteadiness in the gym lately. and MOST DEF, HEARTBURN. its nasty, especially while im lifting, it bothers me.


im not sure i can blame it on a single thing tho, but i guess the acne med has that side effect. im going to ask the cvs technicians and maybe the doctor about more sideeffects, and i'll let u guys know.

Here I did your work for you....
condensed notes on monocycline
Start off taking it only at bedtime for a few days until ones body gets "used to" this medication. During this time dizziness or headaches may occur.
...Other side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine.
More common
Headache


Less common
Acid or sour stomach; belching; cough; heartburn; increased sensitivity to sunlight; indigestion; pain, general; pain in joints or muscles ; runny nose; sneezing; sore throat; stomach discomfort, upset, or pain


SO yes this drug is prob the reason you are having issues... I won't lecture you but we should all check up on side effects of any drug we take before taking it in order to be prepared on what to expect, even drugs prescribed by a doctor
any other q's?
