#3185607 Just Started Accutane...questions Concerns

Posted by sunandsnow5 on 28 November 2011 - 01:35 PM

I went through a pretty bad breakout starting the third week on accutane. Being discouraged I did my usual thing of looking up everything accutane related. A good amount of dermatologists said that the usual time for a good amount of clearing on the skin is at the end of 2 months. Everyone varies but that is the general time. It really sucks- my acne is mostly anywhere near my cheeks- upper, lower, apple- usually noticeable. Mine has calmed down a bit. It takes patience, which really sucks when it is bad, but it will be worth it (: I am right in the same boat as you. 40 mg first month, maybe 60 mg for the next four. I tell myself when it is bad that a few months longer will be hard but it is preferable to maybe even years longer.
