I went today to see the dermatologist and she told me she was stopping it because I had had ‘16 weeks’. I was a bit flabbergasted as I am not at my cumulative dose - (another 6 weeks or so for that.) My liver enzymes were bad and I have loads of rashes and feel tired and very achey, ( although I didn’t mention that!)
I have taken roac. before and after a month of breakouts it was improvements all the way, but this time I just continued to have breakouts, inc last week. The deep down lumps on my chin are also still there.
So, I will take my remaining ’stash’ at 20mg over the next ten days to stretch it out and see the derm’ again in 2 months to reassess things. I am not too upset at the minute because the side effects have really started to wear me out, but if it turns out I have become immune to roac and that this is ‘as good as it gets’ for me now, I will be disappointed. Hopefully I will still see an improvement over the next month…
