Me too... I think! I've already had one course. Expect your skin to be much less oily and your lips to get very dry (aquaphor is great). I never really had an initial breakout; my skin just got gradually better. Don't pick at your skin while on accutane because your healing will be impaired and you may be more likely to scar.

I always just made an appointment right away with a derm. I've had the same derm since I was about 13 though. If you don't know of a derm you could look one up using reviews from ratemds or something.

i hope you do realize how dangerous is this drug ...and i really hope you researched it a lot and that you tried everything else ...like a clean diet ...topicals ...etc

what you should expect is anything ...there is a tall long list of side effects ...some will go after stopping it but the scary part that some will stay with you ...maybe even forever ....for some poeple ....

i took accutane but i stopped it half way because of side effect (facial hair loss) and (scalp faking like crazy)

it been 2 months since i stopped now ...im cleaning my diet ...and it's really working

i dont advise accutane to you or anyone unless you tried everything else ....and you have a really bad acne that's ruining your life and you know beforhand about all the side effects and dangers

i hope you make a wise choice

and sorry for my english
