this may sound stupid but is it bad that i didnt break out the first week i have been on accutane??

I broke out 2 weeks in and nearly at 3 months and has lasted ever since, maybe it will go soon.

It all depends on the person taking Accutane. I feared a horrible IB but never got one. If you fall into that small percentage that does, just try your best to get through it. Don't do things that will irritate your skin!

A week is really early... are you on any other medicine, like an antibiotic? That would supress an IB...

If you reaaaaaaaaallllly want a break out, you can have mine, Ill lend it to ya for a bit, I'm that nice!

It's pretty normal. I got mine around week 2. But now I'm finished and feel great! Hoozah!

I just finished my first month and never had an IB. My skin is getting really dry, but no more or less problems than before.

As long as your skin changes (so as you KNOW something positive is happening), you need not worry about not getting an IB. It's a good thing provided the drug is working.

Just make sure you're taking the tablets with a meal, and preferably something containing fat. This will ensure absorption.
