Don't worry, the dryness will come. The standard regimen is for 16 weeks of
treatment. Of course, your skin will get dry and also very
photo-sensitive...in other words, stay out of the sun. Feel free to go to
the local pharmacy to get a good lotion to help with the dryness...lubriderm
and others work well.
You should of course be working with your doctor and should get regular
blood/lab testing done for various possible side effects / chemical
imbalances.
