Hey, I just started accutane too (3 days) and so far I've had no side effects either.
From what I've heard, people react differently to accutane, some get very dry and peeling skin, while others get more oily skin like you, so I'm guessing thats normal.

Also, no the initial breakouts won't continue but it happens to pretty much everyone on accutane. You get breakouts in the beginning and after that it should start clearing up, but don't worry, these breakouts won't last long.

Good luck!

Seems a little early for an initial breakout, it was probably going to happen whether you took the tane or not. I just finished week 1 and my skin is more oily than before. It is also more irritated.

Hey good lucky to you as well!! Thank you for your response! It makes sense now! What dose are you on and for how long? I had a nosebleed the other night but I put some Vaseline on the inside of my nose and I haven't had one since!

Yeah I thought it was early as well but I guess it's best to get the IB out of the way! My skin is also irritated! What creams and moisturisers are you using?

My derm told me I should start out slow and slowly increase the amount. Currently I am on 20mg per day but will after 2 weeks go up to 40mg a day. My lip started bleeding today, so I think I'm starting to feel some of these side effects. I also broke out a little bit, but I konw that this is normal and I just need to get past this.

Good luck to you too! 🙂

I've started on a higher dosage of 60mg for two months! My lips haven't gotten a lot drier today so I am starting to get side effects as well! The first few weeks are always the hardest!
