Date	Dosage	Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Oct 22, 2010	3 mg/kg/day Daily	Major	Moderate	Always	A little

Side effects:: Breakout on skin with what looks like acne but painful to touch

Date: Oct 22, 2010
Advice & Tips: I take 1.5 mg 2x/day. I believe this is the one that has caused me to have acne difficulties for the first time in my life. It is being treated, but it is constant to hold it in control. No major problems in taking this med, once at 7AM, and once at 7PM.
Cost: < $25 monthly
