What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Light Headedness On Stopping Minocycline?

Hello, I was taking minocycline for 8 days 1-50mg two times a day. I ve been off the antibiotics for one week and still have shortness of breath, light headed at times and the odd time my vision blurred. Is it possible to still experience side affects after a week or longer

Welcome to HCM!
I understand your problem, nothing to worry.
Shortness of breath and light headedness are some of the side effects seen with the use of Minocycline. These side effects are reversible, disappear gradually after discontinuing the drug.
I hope I have cleared your doubts.
Best regards.
