Hi Guys,
I’m on my second month on the ‘tane and side effects aren’t too bad, I’ve got a little joint pain, and my lips are extrememly chapped and I feel tired alot but apart from that it’s going well! My skin is clear from spots, but I still have red imfammed skin from previous acne, definately noticing a difference already! I haven’t drunk alcohol for 6weeks and starting to get a little bored! Obviously not guna go mental, just thinking a few drinks! – Has any body else drunk on ‘tane and if so, what experience did you have? Responses would be lovely! Thanks fellow ‘tane users! xxxxx
I asked my doc about this and he said that drinking a couple of times a month wouldnt have any effect. However, anymore than that would stop the drug working as efficiently – so you might need to be on it longer! Also, more importantly, you liver is put under significantly more stress during Tane treatment so adding alcohol to the mix is only goin to put it under even more pressure. As a student (and a Scot lol) I am fond of a drink so I’ve not totally cut it out, just limiting it to maybe twice a month tops. I don’t think all docs would tell you the same because its obviously better if you dont drink at all, so they’d probably prefer to let you think you;re liver will pack in if you do a jaeger bomb lol. Just thought I’d share what my doc told me! x

Thanks for your reply! I drank for the first time in 2months and it didn’t even touch me! Was very strange, I’m due to go to derm on Thursday next week for my 3rd month but at present my skin is worse than ever! Did yours get worse half way through?? X

Hi,
Drinking on thids is one of my biggest concerns also, i went on holiday 2 weeks ago and despite my best efforts i crumbled and drank everynight for a week oops.. so fingers crossed it wont affect my next blood test.
As for side effects im on week 7 now and like you, my skin is worse then ever, ive got spots where i never had them before so definatley think this is the dreaded breakout people refer to. Lips are very sore, dry and cracked, mild joint pain and pains in my heels when i walk and i am noticing i am tired all the time. Really hoping this will all be worth it, but my spirits are not to high when things are worse and not better

Has anyone else had a drink on R? I start on the 14th Dec, bad timing for Xmas and new year lol, derm said they would rather people didnt drink but one or 2 is ok. Just wondering though, reading the above comments do you think the drink was responsible for your break outs?
Thanks
