Day 3
Obviously no changes due to the short amount of time, just taken my 3rd pill. Now I have to wait another 4 days before I can take another pill. Never heard of this before, 3 days on and 4 days off. I shall listen to my dermatologist though. Keeping my fingers crossed I don't get a bad initial breakout, had a few new spots so far, nothing drastic.
Day 10!
Taken my 5th accutane pill yesterday, due another one today and I have woken up with at least 5 new inflamed pustules, not good considering I start my new full time job tomorrow, oh well **** happens. I Don't know what to think about accutane, seems to be breaking me out more than anything else ever has and no signs of improvement. Just got to keep faith
Hello
I just started my second course of Accutane today. I know how you are feeling. ANXIOUS! Everything that you are experiencing sounds pretty normal BESIDES the bloody stool. Has it happened since then? Also, can I ask why your dermatologist prescribed such a low dose? I was actually considering asking for 20 mgs just because it lessens side effects.
Cheers!

No it has passed thankfully and my dermatologist believes any higher doses will cause unnecessary damage to my liver due to my previous medical history, so that was the main decision behind his thinking.
oh no...i think the first month is going to be the worst (break-out wise)? so hopefully after we get through the first month (Im on day 5)..things will get better...im only on 20mg so im scared ill break out more when he puts me up to 40..but like you said we just have to stay tough and think of the outcome!!
