I'm on 80mg a day of accutane. I have been drinking a lot of milk lately, about half a gallon a day. I know that you should avoid a lot of vitamin A while your on accutane. Does milk have a lot of vitamin a, and if so is a half gal a day going to harm me?
I honestly regret taking this drug. I had moderate acne that was persistent for years, and stupidly decided to take accutane. Within the first ten days I had a horrendous breakout. Cysts everywhere including back, neck, face and shoulders. I thought this was normal because IB's are common, even if they last a month or two. But I have barely any improvement from the IB at all starting month 4. Is this normal? I just hope I don't finish my course being worse off than when I started, which is the direction I'm headed.
Hey,
I've been on accutane (80mg/day) for about 3 months now. Before accutane, I had moderate acne, and the only reason I went on accutane was because it was persistent and nothing else worked. I mostly broke out on my chin and cheeks. Since I have been on accutane (3 months), my acne has gotten really severe and I've been breaking out all over my body and neck with cystic acne. I know that the initial breakout can last a long time, but i can't help thinking that I made a mistake and ruined my skin forever. Is it possible that accutane can permanently make your acne worse instead of helping it?
