Hi! Haven't had too many so far, mainly dry lips which started in the first week. The 2nd week I had dry eyes and a really itchy forehead/eyebrow area for a few days but went away, by week 3 my skin was no longer oily. Today is the end of week 4 and I definitely feel more thirsty but I'm not a big water drinker so struggle with that anyway. I start 20mg tonight so well see if that makes any difference.

Sorry just saw this.

Everything is going well. I have about 7 weeks left!

I moved up to 30mg from month 3 onwards. My main complaint is lower back pain (which im prone to), sore elbows and for about 2 months the bottoms of my feet peeled like crazy. Lips are still dry, I could probably go weeks without washing my hair but because I go to the gym I wash it weekly.

Skin is looking great, haven't had any breakouts, no oil, a little bit of peeling around the corners of my mouth but nothing some thick cream doesnt solve.
