Iih and acne medication

Hello!

So I had idiopathic Intracranial hypertension when I was 15 years old, 13 years ago no. At the time there was no obvious cause (no medications and wasn’t overweight) so I had a couple of lumbar punctures and have been fine ever since. 

Today however, I was prescribed 100mg doxycycline to take for a month for acne, but I can’t find anything online relating to the risks involved in taking it, and no doctor seems to be able to inform me any better. 

I was wondering if anyone has had iih before, and gone on to take acne medication without any problems? 

I lost quite a bit of peripheral vision the first time around and am terrified of losing anymore, but also so depressed with my acne - which nothing else seems to be helping!

Thanks

Hi there, have you tried your tablets yet? I have read numerous times that acne medication can cause IIH. Xx
