So I'm not exactly sure how this forum works but let me first start off by saying I am so happy there is a place like this so we All don't have to be alone through out treatment.

My name is Jennifer and I have finally had enough with creams and moisturizers and pills. I am 23 and have recently made a lot of new changes in my life. I stopped drinking, drugging, and smoking for about a year. Although I occasionally smoke a cigarette. I take lexapro 10mg a day for depression and was taking minocyclin for my acne along with 3 different topical ointments. However, if I went more then 2 days without either one, my face would start to break out. Finally I said I've had enough and picked up my first Isotretonin script. 30mg a day and in on day 6.

I stopped all other acne medication three weeks ago n so between that and the six days of Accutane, my face is breaking out so bad and is super oily.

I recently started graduate school and a new internship and I hate having to show up because I can't stand to look people in the eyes. My face hasn't been this bad since before the minocyclin and I constantly find myself in the mirror picking.

I'm hoping it gets better and have faith that it will. If anyone has any advice feel free to share. I will upload pictures tomorrow.
