I was told it is supposed to work in a week and I have been taking it for over a week but I am still breaking out. Some people have said it turns your teeth yellow and you can't get them white again is that true?

Dermatological stuff can take multiple weeks to months to phase out, have patients. The teeth discoloring is why infants/children don't receive this medication but its is extremely rare in adults.

Not heard of the teeth thing.
However tetracycline may not work for you. It's the same with any antibiotic. some people respond better to different ones.

Sometimes in a child it can turn your teeth yellow. I have taken it numerous times and never have had a problem. It could take months for your skin to get better.

I took it for several months due to Arthritis and 'The Road Back' book. While on it I was flying has no aches, pains and my teeth are still white.

Be careful with this. Make sure you take probiotics (healthy bacteria) because it kills good bacteria, and you might start getting a lot of yeast infections. I suggest you try to find a safer solution. Try asking here for ways to stop breaking out.
