Frey 0 Posted February 8, 2007 My names Daniel, I'm 18, and I'm a senior in high school. After countless months of doxycycline and minocycline, I have finally gotten blood labs and papers done for accutane. I start tomorrow at noon when I can pick up my prescription. Dosage: (3) 20mg a day Morning: (1) 20mg pill with breakfast Night: (2) 20mg pills with dinner TOTAL: 60mg a day My main problem is the oil on my face, I have to blot it off a couple times an hour and its unbelieveble how much my face produces. I eat health and drink plenty of water. Wish me luck, i'll be posting updates every day starting tomorrow. Pictures below. C ya, Daniel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
