Doing alot better. Occasional headache but not near everyday like it was. My derm lower my dose back to 40 mg because of how much my joints were hurting and my headache. Been taking 40 for 7 fays now and feeling much better. No more nose bleeds. Dry skin but cerave helps alot. My lips are my most problems. Very dry..using dr.dans cortibalm. .love this stuff. Acne is minimal. Getting better everyday. Blackheads are almost gone and no more cystic acne. Acne on back and chest is almost gone as well. No other side effects besides the dry skin and lips.Joints are feeling since my lower dosage.

I am currently on week 6. My skin on my face is looking 80% better. Still occasional cysts but they only last for about 3 days then flake off. Blackheads ate diminishing slightly as well. No more nose bleeds. Having bad headaches pretty much on a daily basis. Slight dizziness. Breaking out on my back, shoulders and neck with tiny white bumps. The last 3 days having severe eczema on my chest. Today it was extremely red..looked like psoriasis. Looks disgusting. My derm prescribed steriod cream. Hope it helps.

It's great that you are seeing improvement in your skin and that some of the side effects have gone. Are you still dealing with the headaches and dizziness? What is your dose at currently?

I am not dizzy anymore. I still have headache pretty much on a daily basis. Im tolerating them as much as I can. Im currently taking 60 mg. My derm said thats the highest he will keep me on. My skin is looking better every day. More smooth and maybe an occasional breaking out. Dry skin but managed with cerave cream.

Maybe try increasing your water intake and follow up with your doctor...you want to be careful when it comes to headaches. Take care, keep us posted ok.

Next dermatologist appt is the 17th.
