What Could Be The Reason For Hallucination After Taking Minocycline?

I've been taking 100mg minocycline for about a month now... I stopped taking it for a little while because it was making me feel weird. In a dreamlike state. It went away and I started taking it again, and now it is back. I feel weird. Like I'm in a dream. How long will it be until this gets out of my system? It scares me. I'm 16 years old, and stressing bad over it. Please help.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. Minocycline is often used in acne and periodical dermatitis. As for the halucination as the side effect of Minocycline is considered, it is very rare. In a recent study, out of 1370 people studied, only 2 had hallucination. Therefore, it is a very rare case. Still, you should consult your dermatologist for further advice.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Merry Christmas.
