Hi everyone. I started Accutane back in November. So I just started my fourth month. But I don't feel like I've been seeing really any improvement. A little here and there but really nothing major yet. I started out on 30mg, then was upped to 60 last month, and now I am up to 80 as of yesterday. My derm said she thinks there is improvement but I disagreed with her. I was just wondering how long it took all of you to start seeing results, major results that is. I might just need to wait longer but I am worried because my luck is so terrible that this is the kind of stuff that will happen to me. I'm on Claravis btw.
The improvement was very gradual. I'd say I started seeing noticeable improvement around the middle of my fourth month. I didn't clear up completely until a couple months after the end of course, which was 6 months long at 60mg.
It's hard to see gradual improvement objectively sometimes, because you see your face everyday. Try taking a picture of your face with inconsistant lighting once a week for the rest of your course. It will be easier for you to judge whether you are improving or not that way.
Hey
I started Nov 17!!
Can I ask your weight? since dosing seems to be based on that
Im 130
I started on 20mg for only 2 weeks, bumped to 40mg than 60mg
My Dr wanted me on 8mg but Im actually having some eye issues and am actually on 50mg until next week when I will be back up to 60mg (dont think Im going to try 80) would rather stay on longer and have less side effects
My progress has been slow to say the least..so u arent alone!
Everytime things seems ot be getting better..I feel like I take one step forward and 2 steps back
it also seems with each increase I had ANOTHER bad ib!
wth is it called INITIAL breakout..LOL
hang in there
!
hope this is our magic mnth!
