accutane dosage

And if you have to take more than one do you take them together or spread them out... for example

80 mg...

1 in the morning 1 at night

or just take both at the same time either morning or night.

smoking cigs and accutane

Does anyone know about this or can you point me in the right direction. Does smoking cigs effect the accutane process? Or does anyone smoke and is taking or has taken accutane. thanks

My 2nd accutane journey

Okay, so this is my second time on accutane. First time was when I was 18 or 19. From what I remember it cleared me up pretty good, until last august i started noticing oily skin. Then the break outs started coming. I am 26 now and well you would think that be that age you would not have to deal with this anymore.. Any now i started my second course on 1/30/09.

It's really frustrating. I don't understand and personally am really tired of dealing with this ordeal. How is it that some people have such amazing skin and then the rest of us have to deal with this life changing catastrophe. I mean I do everything I can to prevent break outs. Wash twice a day, don't touch my face at all unless its to wash it. Try to eat healthy, exercise, the list goes on. And then there are people who do nothing to take care of their skin and it's near flawless. I am not asking much, just want to be able to wake up in the morning and not have to spend time in the mirror dreading what i will find. I want to be able to go all day with out worrying if my face is shiny or feel like its oily. And most importantly just be myself. I feel as if i've lost a part of me because of this disorder. I just want to enjoy life. Sometimes it feels like I am missing out on a lot in life because I am self concious of the way I look. I mean not being able to take pictures, or getting up in front of a group or crowd of people, always hiding out or making stupid excuses to why you can't or don't want to go out... Having to go to the doctors, getting your blood drawn, telling people that your on accutane and explain it to them because they have no idea what it is or why you are even on it. I'am just tired... tired of everything that surrounds acne.... not a zit here and there but straight up acne that is always there or skin that is never just balanced.

I wish everyone the best of luck on their journey. I know it's suppose to make you stronger but come on already. Sorry if this sounds like I'am bitching, because I am but we all need to vent and honestly who better to vent to than someone who at least understands what you're going through....

oh day 36 for me.

Dry everything. especially my eyes...small rashes on forearm and elbows. mood up and down obviously. small breakout on back. And allergies is kickin my ass.

just going to let accutane do it's thing.

Face wash and moisturizer while on accutane

Hello every one hope all is going well.... I am currently on DAY 34 yeah, second time around boo... of accutane.....

I have a really quick question what is everyone using while on accutane to wash their face and moisturze.

What is your regiment?
(how often do you wash)

What have you used that works great?

What have you used and was not to thrilled about?

Currently for me I am using purpose gentle cleanser only at night, and water in the morning.

I am almost out of the cleaner and was looking for something new... I tried aveeno ultra calming cleanser but my skin got red so no go....

Any info will be greatly appreciated... thanks
