ABeachGirl 0 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ok so I've been on generic accutane for a month now, i started off at full fledge 80mg and i weigh 115-120lbs range. I havent had but a few new pimples every now and then in the time being, nothing huge, like a whole whole lot all at once. Would you say that i've had the IB ? Or is the calm before the storm? I ask because of the amount , and time of everything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I ask because of the amount , and time of everything you probably won't get an ib. you are probably just breaking out normally. i didn't have an ib. i just broke out normally for a few weeks and then started clearing up.

JBHK 1 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I didn't get an IB, but I also did antibiotics at the same time. That said, I have read that most people do not get an initial breakout. Something like 1 in 5 get it. Of course, I don't know how those statistics were complied and whether they are correct but it should be of some comfort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe. i'm surprised more people don't use antibiotics for the first month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LabGirl81 4 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I didn't get an inital breakout either. I did get a few new ones within the first few weeks, but it wasn't as bad as before 'tane. I stopped breaking out completely towards the end of my first month, and haven't broke out since, and I'm now at the start of my third month. I didn't use antibiotics for the first month or any time before my course......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
