on Yaz birthcontrol and minocycline... ineffective protection?

I am currently taking Yaz birthcontrol and minocycline for acne. I have been on this specific birthcontrol for a while now, but I just recently started taking minocycline to help with my acne. I know that minocycIine decreases the effectiveness of birthcontrol. I haven't seen my boyfriend in months, and I and seeing him this weekend and will be with him for the next few weeks. I do not know if I should discontinue taking the minocycline for now (stop taking it tonight) so that I can safely have by this Friday. We always use two methods of birth control, the actual birth control and a condom. If I am on Yaz birthcontrol and minocycline, should I just rely on using a condom to prevent pregnancy, or should I discontinue the minocycline for now? I just want to be safe :) Please advise, thanks!
