Mild-moderate Acne, Dry Eyes, Thinning Hair. Came Off COC, Discontinued Zineryt. Related?

I developed mild-moderate acne after coming off the COC following migraine with aura. Started Cerazette and Zineryt. 11 months on skin no better, probably worse. Have discontinued Zineryt. GP advised I come off Cerazette, then try Oxytetracycline . Should I do both at once? If not, how long should I wait to start Oxytet? Cerazette thinned my hair and caused v. dry eyes . Can Oxytet make this worse? Thanks.
