So I started accutane exactly 2 weeks ago. And OMG my acne has gotten 10x worse. I'm on 40 mg 2x day. I have moderate acne which started 5 years ago. I'm hoping this will work and is kind of my last resort. I'm 30 years old and have acne which sux big time. My side effects so far are dry lips and itchy scalp. Can anyone share there current or past experience on accutane? It would help alot

I also had a horrible initial breakout, so I feel your pain. Today is day 55 for me, and my face has gotten so much better already... so don't give up! Just be patient and the clear skin will come :)

I took it as a teen but stopped before finishing my whole cycle. I stopped because it cleared up and I didn't like the dry skin. Of couse, as a teen, we don't take medicine in their entirety once we notice the symptoms have subsided. I, too, just started accutane and I have faith it will work again. Good luck getting through the IB and stick with it!
