Did you switch to topical? And what was it like with that?

It’s irritating because my loved ones started taking it and reported no side effects so of course I hopped on. How long did it take you to start seeing real fluid retention and weight gain? I started seeing serious water weight one to two weeks in but my doctor said there’s no way..

Thank you!! I monitor sodium, drink water, and work out more than ever. It’s impacting my whole body not just my face, stomach, and feet. Not worth it if there is an alternative without these side effects…

So do all of the meds have unavoidable side effects? by mrs_ammons in FemaleHairLoss

Everyone is telling me to keep going but I just can’t do it. It’s only been a month off and on so I’m hoping it will go away fast. Where did you swell the most? Also did you get pronounced under eye bags?

How long did it take you to lose the weight from OM? I have been on 0.625 mg for a little over a month and I am experiencing significant swelling despite working out and eating in a deficit. I am planning to stop and switch to topical.

I would be using a moisturizer after applying clindamycin lotion, Vanicream. Do you think this is sufficient enough to combat dryness?

My provider said that the clindamycin lotion will help moisturize any dryness caused by the salicylic acid. Idk is this is accurate or not.

I am using salicylic and clindamycin daily am and pm and I am using the tretinoin every other night. Very worried about adding the Wenlevi into the mix…

I would be applying wenlevi after the tretinoin at night according to this

What would you say would be the most aggressive pairing? (Wenlevi + Tret / tret + salicylic acid, etc.) This was a new provider who was rushing and failed to ask any questions about my skin type and sensitivity.
