just got my 60mg accutane...
it feels so dangerous taking three 20mg pills...
like i'm going to dry up and die.
hahaha~

im hoping i wont break out like crazy and that my skin won't become flaky and red.
no far, i haven't had serious side effects.
other than dry skin, dry lips, and dry eye, that's all ive had really.

im just hoping 60 mg wont make me a zombie.

I'm new here. I am looking at the accutane users to see if I wanna go that route. Yours looks interesting. I beat mine for 2 years, then it just came back, strong. I will post my thing later...

^ i love your signature. hahaha~~

i find myself drinking a lot of water now.

my skin is dry and its annoying because my makeup gets all weird.

baaaah~~~~

and my hands have been tearing so easily.
=(

lets see how 60mg will affect me...

*SIGH~~*

[Nightro]

Don't worry hikari128 you'll get better!!
You're very pretty too btw

[hikari128]

No matter how much I moisturize, skin is getting flaky and dry.
Ah damn.

I look at other people's logs and their pictures..
They honestly don't have acne as bad as I do.
Not to mention my load of terrible scars...
I look like a cheetah.
=*(

Kind of makes me discouraged...
People with less acne than me on higher doses.

I've been getting blackheads on my NECK now.
What the hell is that?!
That's never happened before!

Come on 60mg...
Hurry up and do your stuff!!!

Just got home from going out. It was a dark place and thats the way it will have to be for a while. Was just thinking, like what are the rules with alcohol and medication? So like if you are on Accutane, can you drink at any time? And when I first hear about the tane 5 years ago, I swear the derm was saying it was needle injections into your alcohol stream but it seems like everyone is posting as if it were capsules. So is it needle, or pill?

[TobiasFunke]

Oh man I wrote "alcohol stream" but I meant blood stream. I must go pass out now because there is blood in my alcohol stream.

[hikari128]

Accutane f*cks with your liver... which is why is supposedly not good to drink. but a lot of tane users still drink anyways.

i'm 5'4 and 120-115 lbs (haven't weighed myself in a while...)

so its been a couple days on 60mg and im breaking out a lot.

like little bumps.

ARGH!

annoying!!!!!

i hate it i hate it i hate it....!!!

hey, maybe you should stop putting on makeup while you're on accutane

[hikari128]

^ thanks a lot~

things are slightly getting better.
no new breakouts and my skin isnt so disgusting anymore.
*sigh*
lets hope it stays that way!
using heavy moisturizer helps me a lot.

[hikari128]

somewhat clearing up.
realized the amount of work that needs to be done after accutane.
scars scars scars.
still got the little pimples which are annoying me..
and red marks are redder now.
daaaaamn...

not going to friends prom.
cant take off work.
bah.

i need a tan...
but i burn so easily, i bet accutane is going to make me burn 3x as badly.

[TobiasFunke]

How bad is it REALLY? This is like the only thread I post in cause you look like a cutie! I have noticed that most people on this board have it mild, but they perceive it to be moderate, and they express it to be horrific. Maybe I should start some new thread about that topic.

[hikari128]

i have a lot of scars. i had a lot of acne from 8th grade to sophomore year, which caused a lot of scarring. i had a couple of cysts and thats basically it.

my skin was somewhat smooth pre-accutane, but the cysts caused the scarring so i started on the med.

but i broke out like crazy up until now, and now i just get little bumps here and there.

i may LOOK like a cutie, but i swear im not.

[bOOn]

You'll be fine, my skin is probably 90% clear, though my face looks really red when I just come out of the shower but the redness settles after a few hours, and I've only been on it for about two months. Your skin will feel a lot smoother and softer soon enough as well as look clearer even though from your pic you look like you've never had acne in your life. Good luck with the tane it's well worth it.

[hikari128]

i was supposed to see my derm to get my new prescription of tane this past wednesday, but i'm sick as hell and couldn't go.

not to mention i have the nastiest rash all over my feckin arms and i look diseased.

my dad thinks i have the chicken pox... whaaat!?

on the good note:

my skin is pretty damn clear. i still got the little bumps and what not, but its doing pretty ok.

but my lips are chapped beyond belief.
