Hello there Roac world,
Well…… I have just had the week from hell!! On Saturday (day 9) was in uncontrollable tears for about 2 hours and very sooky the rest of the day. Went to my GP who (didn’t know what to do with me, a bit of a basket case) said that this stuff can make your hormones go crazy and that it did!! He advised me to stop the Roac for 3 days and then start having one every 2 days. He thinks that the dosage was too high (20mg).
The nausea is getting to me a lot so I asked him for some anti-nausea tablets which have made life a bit easier. The roac is making me really tired so I have decided to take the Roac with dinner and it helps me sleep and I am asleep for some of the annoying nausea as well.
I have had really bad breakouts which really hurt so I have put on Dermalogica pimple cream which has helped a bit with the pain and they disappear a bit faster and I am using Simple exfoliater before I put on my make up which is oil based but I am still using the recommeded moisturises. I am probably doing all the wrong things but I am DESPERATE. I will do anything to get through this first month.
Today, which is day 14 my skin has calmed down a bit and the pimples are going a bit more quickly now which is good but my skin is now really really dry and I don’t feel like I am going to burst into tears anymore (thank god, very embarrassing). Well, I think I have babbled on enough now so take care out there my fellow Roacs and have a nice week.
