welcometothedarkside 0 Share Posted July 4, 2008 No, it will be fine, as long as you are still only having those mild side effects. The accutane takes time. One of the most important features a person on accutane can have is patience. Be patient and you will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ihateacnesobad 2 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Sammy, let me know how it goes for you. I was upped from 80 to 100 on my 2nd month. It's my 5th day on this dose and so far I've gotten my first pimple from the day I started accutane. Only other thing I noticed is my lips are dryer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You should seek medical attention. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
