Hi guys I'm James and Im currently on accutane 30 mg two times a day. I would say my acne is mild-moderate and I have been on for 1 week and a half. I have a question and it's how much food should I be eating with my pills. Every morning I usually have a chocolate milk and protein bar and in the evening whatever I have for dinner I will it the pill with. Another question is can I lay down after taking my pill ? Like before bed ? Goodluck to all on there accutane journey!

Also another question can I be eating whatever I want during accutane , I don't think diet causes my acne but just curious and should I wash my face twice a day as I have been doing morning and night ?

Hi :) I have just started accutane too but I'm on a baby dose ( 10 mg 1 time a day for two weeks then up to 20 mg ). My derm just told me to take mine with my main meal of the day. He said as long as I'm not on a 0% fat diet that it doesn't really matter what I eat it with. So seen has you have to take it twice a day what you're doing sounds about right. And about the lying down part I don't see why not , I've never heard anything to say otherwise.

I'm kind of wondering about the diet thing too, but I plan to start eating healthy in the new years but to also make sure I'm getting my good fats so that my accutane can be absorbed. And I'd say to wash as normal, but obviously not with anything too harsh that is going to dry out your skin.

Good luck, and lets hope to have clear skin at the end! :D
