Switched from Amnesteem to Claravis

& boy what a difference. With one month on Amnesteem (40mg) I was experiencing all kinds of weird side effects (ie. itchy scalp, irritability, super achy, lethargy, stomach bloat) & I was miserable. Now I’ve been on the Claravis for two weeks 40mg / 80mg & I don’t even feel like I’m on the medicine other than the dryness & my skin is super thin. I actually feel better than normal?! My doctor originally prescribed the Claravis but the pharmacy didn’t have it & told me they are all the same. I reluctantly took it because I wanted to get my treatment started but when I told my derm what had happened she insisted I take the Claravis & stay on it for the rest of my course.

So to anyone who is experiencing awful side effects maybe talk to your derm about the brand they prescribed you & don’t listen to the pharmacy when they tell you “they’re all the same”

Had this same thing with different brands... amnesteem was actually the best for me almost no side effects except muscle soreness. claravis is okay... myorisal terrible I got super depressed came off didn’t want to get out of bed switched back and was fine. Definitely worth trying a switch of brands if your side effects are really getting to you

I’ve been on Claravis my full term. I’m on my last month and my aches are terrible. Dry lips have been my biggest woe the whole time. I had a dry scalp for two weeks close to the middle of the term. Everyone takes the pill differently. Good luck though !

Switching from Absorica to Claravis felt the exact same. I switched back to Absorica however because it absorbs more without having to eat anything with it.
