hey planlos, you're one of the lucky ones! i hope i don't get an ib like you. well i just started yesterday on 20mg. i kinda have pressure on my eyes, did you have this by any chance?

[planlos]

@daria
I didn't noticed any eye pressure while on accutane, but I know some ppl with this side effect. So I think you don't have to worry about it that much.
Yup: until now, I haven't got an IB. But never say never.
Anyway: good luck with your course and welcome to the accutane club.

I noticed 2 new tiny bumps near my right eyebrow this morning. But they are almost gone now: just weird imho.
The scab on my right cheeck fell off yesterday night. So my whole complexion improved a bit again.

Hey ya planlos,

@cj83
Yeah man, accutane is really a miracle drug so far: it's really the best stuff against acne.
And seems like you're doing fine too.

hey planos did your skin look shiny even though it was dry during your first month? i just noticed my skin texture looks and feels different. my skin texture (on non-acne areas) was actually smoother before but my face has cleared up quite a bit so i'm not that disappointed.

[planlos]

@daria
My skin doesn't look shiny right now: actually, right after I took accutane for 1-2 weeks, my face went from shiny(oily) to normal skin tone, and didn't change until now.
