Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi :) I am having really bad acne issues right now. Over a year ago I was diagnosed with idiopathic hypersomnia. I got a prescription for clarithromycin and tritrated up to 1000mg twice a day. It's the only thing that actually wakes me up and I was so grateful! My light to moderate acne cleared up but then about 3 months ago came back worse than I've ever had. All over my face, chest, back, arms, neck and even butt :( I stopped taking the biaxin thinking maybe this was the cause? Even after over 2 months since I stopped taking it I still have horrible acne. I was prescribed doxycycline 100mg and a typical antibiotic for the acne but it hasn't made a dent. I really want to be able to take the biaxin again for my sleep disorder so I can feel like an almost normal productive human and mother. Can I take them both together? I want this acne gone as it is destroying my skin and I want to be awake again. Please help. And thank you for your time.
