normal?

i'm 1 and a half months into my accutane course of 40 mg in the first month and 60 mg from then on. i haven't noticed even a bit of difference in my acne or face in general. the only side effect i've had is dry lips- that is all. is this normal? when do i start seeing a change? im deathly afraid of being one of those people who are just resistant to accutane.

rash on face (picture)

i've been on 40 mg for a month and then 60 mg for about 15 days.. just today i woke up and had this rash on the side of my face. does anyone know if it is normal to have this on accutane? im guessing accutane is the cause? it itches. thanks!

no effects at all after 3 weeks..?

i've been on 40 mg claravis for a bit more than 3 weeks. i have not experienced ANY effects at all, good or bad. maybe a slight dryness with lips, but they chap easily anyway. i had a bit of a breakout, but it wasn't so horrid that i didn't think it could possibly be the terrible "initial breakout" that everyone speaks of. what's the deal? i get bumped up to 60 mg when i finish the month, do you think that will make a difference and the dryness/effects will kick in?

do you think it will work for me?

hey. i've had mild but cystic persistent acne for about 5 years now. tried everything from birth control pills, antibiotics, retin-a, etc. etc. etc. i start accutane in about 12 days. this is the current state of my face, after stopping doxycycline about a week ago. right now, i'm using diane 35 birth control, retin-a, and klaron. i have two cysts near my chin, and other random things going on..

So my question is, how do you think it will work for me? any tips, suggestions, etc.
