I'm not watching my diet but im breaking out like a bitch right now...from this morning to tonight I must have grown eight new zits/ white heads etc....son of a bitch....didn't expect this to happen in less then a week in......It's gonna be a loooooong haul
Sorry to hear about the breakouts so soon 
Just keep your eye on the prize!
and Im not watching my diet at all
Love tday and I love sweet...no stopping me this time of year!
The breakouts that started sat-sunday are almost flat this morning....
I did spot with a little bp but they didnt grow...hi-5!
I have more weird whiteheads on my lips..u really cant see but they are there
not sure Dr Dan..and I should switch
My lips arent peeling or dry at all..this stuff rocks as far as that goes
BUT inside lip i have a cut/bled over night..odd because my lips arent dry at all>>
My nose are is congested and a little area in inflamed but going to ignore
wooowwwwww...day#7
week #1 down
Kim
derp: stay strong man! i have been experiencing some more breakouts than im use two as well..but like you said a couple posts ago we just need to say F**k it for the next 5-6 months...things will get better if we can just be patient and trust in the proccess
Kimber: where did you say you got that Dr.Dans stuff? the aquaphor is not performing as well as I hoped and id like to give something else a try
#14..wow two weeks..its kind of flown by
-anyways dry skin and lips are really the only side-effect ive experienced so far
-i feel like this stuff kind of messes with your head in terms of being hyper-vigilant about my body...every litte ache, sore, or upset stomach I automatically assume its because of the accutane..when in reality it could be due to a number of things
-ready to tackle the next two weeks
Hope everyone had a good weekend

Hi everyone,
Sorry to jump into this group a little late on, but I too have just started the treatment (we call it Roaccutane here in the UK). Was thinking it could be helpful to know experiences of others going through it as well!
I'm on day 5 now, and have already noticed a few side effects. My face has actually become red, as if i'm slightly sunburnt. My skin/lips have become pretty dry but vaseline & moisturiser are working. I was encouraged to use moisturiser and my dermatologist even gave some away with me. No improvement of my skin (as expected), but like others have said, i'm starting to get an increased number of small whiteheads. I'm currently on 30mg tablets, not really expecting any improvement of my skin until I go up to 60mg in 4 weeks time.
I always monitor my diet so have taken a few steps to increase the levels of fat I eat. Anything to help get rid of my annoying acne!
Hey Mark, good to meet you
yeah red-face unfortunately is a common side effect of the drug. I seem to get it every now and then.
whatever you do make sure you do not go out in the sun for a long period of time!..your skin is very sensitive on this stuff and the sun will make the redness 10x worse. I went out in the sun for maybe an hour last weekend and my face was burnt and red for like 3 days
whats the process like to get roaccutane in the UK? cause its pretty intense over here
Hey all sorry I've been MIA over the weekend. Derpface thanks for letting us all crash your thread! Maybe we should call it "Accutane class of 2015 lounge." That's what I call it in my head 
On Dr. Dan's: I've also heard this is the best for Accutane patients and I'm planning on getting some. They have it at my local CVS. The miraculous pharmacy that overnight air mailed my tane to me included a miniature pot of Vaseline that I've been using a lot and my lips are normal. They were a little chapped before I even started because winter has descended rather violently on my corner of the Great Lakes.
My status: just a little peeling in places where my skin is healing from old blemishes. It makes me happy to see something happening, but I predict that soon I'll be begging for mercy and moisture. I have only gotten one new pimple since starting the drugs, and it progressed quickly (~12 hours) from inflamed spot to whitehead to flat red mark. I don't really believe the hype about the IB. I have heard it occurs in a minority of patients rather than most. Also, the ones with the IBs are more likely to post in an acne forum than the ones that are just getting better straight away. If you dig around there are lots of reports of Accutane courses w/o IB. As y'all were saying before, it could be a self-fulfilling prophecy sort of thing. Believe in the IB and it will getcha!
On my diet: I have been letting go a little! Or a lot... I know I shouldn't but the cold weather means me and my roommates are baking more, and I just can't resist. I have been good for so long...
If all goes well with my end-of-the-semester pre-Thanksgiving work tomorrow, I will post photos of my skin!
I hope u are right about the ib happening to a minority of people
I've only experienced small breakouts so far and they go away very quickly
Could be tame or that I stopped retin-a and bp
my derm said I could continue to use ewtin-a and spot with bp
dr only deter patients from using these opicals while on tane because of the potential to have extreme dryness
I thought might try retin-a every 2 night
lets just saw I realized quickly this wouldnt workout..lol
Im in northern nj and we have snow coming wed..noooooooo....s
whats the process like to get roaccutane in the UK? cause its pretty intense over here
I've been on multiple antibiotics prescribed by my doctor for years now, none of them really helped a lot. FINALLY I was referred to the dermatologist and within the week I was on it. Think its more complicated for girls.
Its pretty much standard over here to start at half dosage to see how it effects you before going onto the full dosage. Have to go for another blood test really soon to make sure its ok to continue.
The sun sensitivity makes me happy i'm starting it in the winter, would so suck in the summer!
Ham: good to hear from you..I was wondering if you were still with us
I like that proposed group name **accutane class of 2015**
I know exactly where your coming from as far as baked goods..my roommate made a fresh apple pie and I had like three slices with ice cream...whoooops
Kim: I called my pharmacy and put in a order for some dr.dans and should have it in the next couple days..thanks for the suggestion
Mark: okay yeah that's similar to how it goes over here..and no kidding about not having to go through this over the summer..that would be a bummer
Kim: oh no! You traveling for turkey day? We are in the middle of a big snowstorm now! I actually love snow, even when I have to ride my bike in it like tonight (my only mode of transportation). I hate that it causes car accidents and makes it hard to travel, but I love almost everything else about it.
Mark, I'm sorry that you can't relate to this, but who's pumped about Thanksgiving?! I will feel a little less guilty this year digging in with tane on my side. I love Thanksgiving. Mmmm.
LOVE tday too
My second fav holiday after halloween 
LOVE mashed potatoes and pie....yumy uym uymmmmmyumm
anyway, not traveling for tday..having family here
Hope they can make it if it snows!
I already have a had and defrosting bird in the fridge!
any other recs for lip product that will moisturize, but not cause breakouts?

Welcome back ham. Unfortunately I can personally attest to an IB in less then five days in. Nothing outrageous but my face is worse now then it has been in years....and it's a different kind of acne then I've ever gotten before.I just picked up aquaphor? isn't that the go to move?
Have you tried just pure Vaseline/petroleum jelly? It is non-comedogenic and it works for me. I even use it on my face at night when my skin is super dry.
I would be so scared to try this!
Ive used aquaphor on my lips And has same issue with little whitheads and breakouta around edge mouth
Ill have to check ing..are they the same vaselin/aquaphor?
derp..sorry about the IB
hpefully for u it hit quickly but will be over soon/early
I have been getting blips I call them daily because they are small and resolve quickly
I have some sweling under eyes/bump..Im just going to ignore it
hang in there!!!
thanks for the rec
kim
#day 15
-got two new good size tender breakouts above my eyebrow..of course it's the day I have to make a presentation in one of my courses...bummer
-but whatever I have stopped caring about what other people think
-still the only side effects I have been experiencing is dry lips/skin
Derpface, on day 6 my skin has become worse too. I have a few large & angry spots as well as a whitehead breakout on my upper lip (literally the worst place to have a breakout).
The good news is my semester has finished so I can just hide away. Also, i'm broke right now, so at least bad skin will make me not go out and spend money ha!
