That is awesome!
I just started accutane 6 days ago
I want to do low dose and my derm agreed
but my appt to get my scripts for accutane she rec 40mg a day?
(I weigh about 130 or less)
I insisted I wanted a lower dose so she agreed ot 20mg but after 2 weeks wanted me to bump to 40mg and at the end of 6mnths over 80mg?
hahaha
Did your Dr suggest this longer term low dose regimen or was it at your suggestion?
thanks, kim
Hey Kim , I went in wanting a high dose , because i weigh a lot (well 80kg , dno if thats a lot) and 10mg seemed an awful lot less than what people get prescribed on this forum, so I was a little dissapointed when she only prescribed that.
The 10mg caused a huge initial breakout , i have no idea what would've happened if i was on a higher dose . The highest i went was 30mg a day.
Very cool to see such a dramatic improvement from accutane. I remember the doctor saying that it is quite normal for your acne to get WORSE in the first 2-6 weeks. Looks like that happened to you, and then it finally started to work, and voila, acne really disappeared. Nice!
Wow, looking back... what a journey it was.
Hey everyone. It's been three years and I thought this is worth an update, because my accutane treatment was very text-book like, with dramatic improvements. A success story, if you will.
This is what my face looks like after 3 years of stopping the treatment. I now get the occasional pimples, which do get worse without any treatment. That's why I follow a light treatment: I was my face with a gel called Ivatherm and I use a cream called Duac in the evening. Everything is manageable, nothing crazy like I used to get 3 years ago. I am very pleased with how my Accutane treatment went and with both products that I use today (Ivatherm gel, Duac).
Thank you for everything. I wish you all a wonderful life!
