My questions is about 4 days ago I started getting nauseated and it has been gettting progressively worst everyday. Is this normal?  Or am I getting to much 'poison' in my sytem?  I am waiting for my doctor to return my call to let me know if I should discontinue treatment.  karenwhat Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi-I dc'd treatment with carac .05% cream on day 23 my face was red and swollen under eyes=blackish skin falling off in some areas-I couldn't mentally take it any more either.  I have to say out of th 23 days I felt very dizzy and nauscious (sp)  random days.  This is my fourth day in recovery and I have some noticeable symptoms-tired,tired,loss of appetite and achy and a metal taste in my mouth.  I am so thankful that I decided to discontinue treatment-I hope my fuschia skin heals and the blotchy effect goes away.   Currently I am peeling a lot-I smear on biafin-aquaphor let that ferment and then apply emu oil (omegas 3,6,9) and pray pray pray that I did not break any blood vessels or burst capillaries-I am 35 yo female and that means I would have to get laser treatment to clean up the "mess."  Assessing all that this carac treatment for 28 days script is not one for me....if that makes sense.  Next time I will go the IPL route-I don't care if it's outa pocket-I am too active and outgoing to do  carac to its' completion.  I am here for your support and will gladly reply to response-All the best Heather luvlivin Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT
