> Hello, I am a redhead with blue eyes and have not noticed any sensitivity to the sun. I did start the lex in the winter, but have been in the sun alot this summer with baseball games and also a vacation to Florida. I have to wear sunscreen to slowly build up a tan, but now dont burn hardly at all. I do tan better than most redheads but was worried the med may make me more sensitive.
Hi all-
I tan fairly easily without burning so as I go in to the sun I use an SPF8. I have not burnt so far this summer except for a real itchy place on my back that didn't get covered by oil.
I'm on 20mg of Lex and since I am somewhat med sensitive and had been on abundant other AD's before the Lex, guess I just expected some side effects. And I remind myself that this is less than a year on the market, with some (from what I have read) short clinical trials. I also read the package inserts but sometines think this makes me imagine effects that aren't there. All in all, I guess I want to say that I am human again after feeling sub-human for a long time and if I have to put up with a few inconveniences (sweats and dizziness for me) I am more than willing!!
And I don't think even the docs know what all to expect from this med, yet.
Wishing us all peace and joyful hearts and laughter.
