Does Minocycline Cause Headaches,appetite Loss And Dizziness?

I have an eye infection and my eye doctor prescribed Minocycline 100MG. I am having some side affects which are: headaches, no taste buds, no appetitie and last Friday was walking and my body on its own went towards my left and took awhile to get back to walking straight which I attributed to being dizzy. Are all these symptons associated with this prescription? Thank you

Hi! Yes indeed! Headache, lightheadedness or dizziness and loss of appetite are
known side effects of minocycline. Inform your physician of the same and he might consider a change of therapy. All the best!
