Thanks cybercafe,
Started feeling a bit better today, the extreme sleepy period did not hit until 8:00PM this evening....that's a lot more acceptable than 3:00PM in the afternoon. Very unusual drug (not having any bad side effects other than sleepiness). Saw the pdoc today and got approval to add a third dose of 10mg - this will give a daily total of 40mg. You are both correct, a little extra patience is required to let the drug do its work.
Re: the acne antibiotic question. I developed adult acne a few years ago (for unknown reasons)- have been taking 100mg Minocycline in AM and 100mg PM for the past few years. Seems to give pretty good control...only an occassional outbreak. Topical treatments didn't seem to help much. The dermatologist advised not to bring hard pressure against the face (the only place I get the problem) like leaning your face on your hand.
Thanks again for the help,
Geezer
