[split] Acitretin

[longtime sufferer]

So sorry to hear you're having all these side effects. My dermatologist told me if I had headaches, I could reduce the dose to three times a week. You might want to ask your doc if you could reduce the dose to see if that helps.
Thanx Kat might phone them on Monday have u experienced hair loss?

No, I did have a headache the first day or two, but it waThanks s mild. I do get a bit of dry mouth and dry lips, but that was something I would get prior to the medicine. I'm just past the 3 week mark for being on Acitretin and so still waiting to see if it works for me. Crossing fingers for us both.

Yes fingers crossed do you mind me asking what mg you are on mine is 35mg so quite a moderate dose

Mine is less, it's 25mg.

Thanx Kat very helpful info it maybe that they put me down slightly, i was guided by my nurse saying 'dont worry you wont wake up bald' but the hair loss is getting a little out of hand so not prepared for that. I think I can deal with the other side effects and hopefully they will pass
