Re: Acne Medication Led To Death...

i'm on it at the moment

i'd previously done a course where the previous dermatologist mis-calculated the course so i was doing 1 tablet a day

when i tried a few other things i saw a different doctor who realised that i had effectively done a quarter - course
he upped it to 3 tablets a day

about 2 months ago the course ran out 3 weeks before i was due to see him and spots had come back on my face (i got them on my face and head)

so he put me back on them at 3 tablets a day again

now the side effects are the worst i have experienced so far in the treatment

here's a list (including the usual)

a) dry lips (vaseline)
b) nose bleeds in sleep
c) a rare nose bleed when awake
d) poorer smell of smell
e) rash on hands and arms
f) suspected heat induced utricia (?)

e) is worse then ever and the hydrocortisone creme isnt helping, it is mostly on my hands
f) stopped me training the other day

but it is just worth it for the fact that i can shave my head, and do not need to have a great bushy beard (with no hair) when the spots have gone

i have not felt depression, i have had anger but am not naive enough to blame the roacc for this
