Haha ive been on Doxy for 6 months and starting IPL in a week.

Noone told me about it.

Honestly i want to stop doxy since it doesnt seem to be helping me thin my oil or reduce inflammation.

Maybe now is the tome to quit.

I myself consider doing IPL too and I am on Doxy. I do not how long before going IPL I should stop Doxy. I was on DOxy over 3 weeks now

A day or so is more that enough. Doxy 1/2 life is 18 hours. The reason to stop doxy before IPL is that you are might sensitive to sunburns when on doxy.
