Novatretin (Acitretin generic) - anyone else used it? My experience so far...

So it is possible that the slight changes in the generic form are not as effective for you.  But from your post, I think you already know more about this than I do.    Definitely something to discuss with your doctor.

Hi, Kat. I like to be scientific in my approach to anything so the problem here was that I have two variables: the lower dosage (20mg versus 35mg) and the use of a generic.

I'm inclined to believe it's the lower dosage since if the lower dosage was as effective as the higher dosage I would never have needed the higher dosage all those times before.

That makes sense.  You said you were going to increase the dose so it will be interesting to hear the outcome and if that is what works.
