HI Friends please read

Minocycline is believed to hamper reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, potentially creating intracranial hypertension and vision loss. In fact, doctors know about this side effect, and it has been well documented. For someone with already slowed venous flow and build-up of CSF (as a patient with CCSVI), this side effect could be even more harmful.

Just fyi

Doxycycline could be safer, avoiding this tendency of minocycline. In Lyme treatment, minocycline has recently been avoided in favor of doxycycline. Minocycline was observed to cause pseudotumor cerebri, which seems to be related to IIH.

I prefer doxy.
