Hi

i am 20 and i have mild but persistent acne for 2 years. I decided to go on accutane, isotretinoine to be exact. My dosage is 20mg per day for 6 months along with dermabiotic for 1 month. It is my 2nd day today and i take my medicine after breakfast. I have noticed that i got a headache half an hour after i took the medicine on my first day and even today. ( light migraine like pain on the right side of my skull which i usually get very rarely ) I dont want to go off accutane but i dont want to have this headache. I also want to avoid taking medicine for the headache. My question is, does this go away? Or i will have to endure this for the entire 6 months? What is your experience?

when i started accutane i got headache right after the first day and it lasted about 3-4 days. after that it just went away and i never had problems again.

i took 20 mg twice a day

Didnt have a headache today but had little pain in my right leg which i had injured last year. Otherwise, can notice dryness. Just hoping that i dont get an initial breakout! When is clear skin achievable? One month?
