glittergirl 0 Posted November 8, 2004 Hi, I finished my accutane course 3 and a half days ago and the side effects are all still there. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience of how long it takes for the dryness of lips/eyes especially to go away? Im really scared they won't go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arpazia 0 Posted November 8, 2004 Due to financial reasons, I wasn't able to get my prescription filled for 60 mg of Accutane. They wanted $476 and I didn't want to pay them $476. Being able to survive basically overroad my desire for clear skin. It has now been a week and some side effects are still there but they are getting less and less as each day goes by. The only complaint I really have is dry lips but, as stated above, it gets better each day. I wouldn't worry about these things turning into permanent side effects of Accutane unless they last for another two months. In the meantime, the Accutane is still in your system. Relax.

Gypsy 0 Posted November 10, 2004 You should really ask your derm. I've heard that for some people they can persist for quite a while...I think it might vary by person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
