[split] Acitretin

[kh924]

I only had chapped lips and peeling for the first few weeks. I was started on a dose of 25mg a day, dropped down to 20mg a day and now I alternate on 10mg one day/20mg every other day. I did experience a bit of hair loss which is in part, the reason for lowering my dosage. It was also lowered because my skin is completely clear (for now anyway ?). I noticed more that the texture of my hair has changed vs losing hair, but I'll take it any day over Psoriasis. If I read your post correctly you started in Nov on 40mg day?? It is a slow acting med. It took a good 3 or 4 months for me to see real progress. Wishing you the best. Hang in there
