davina 0 Posted July 8, 2003 ive only been on accutane 3 days now.. and i have had quite a bad outbreak.. can the drug affect me this quickly??!! when does the usual initial outbreak come?? - can it come the first week ?or is it different for everyone? also has anyone drunk alcohol on accutane?? In late august i have been invited to a big party thats happening- would it be ok to have 4-5 drinks or is it risking damage to my liver? [-o< if anyone could help, thanks xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SILVERSURF 0 Posted July 9, 2003 iF YOU CAN TRY TO AVOID DRINKING AND GETTIN ALOT OF SUN WHILE ON ACCUTANE. I DID IT AND GOT THE WORST HEADACHE THAT PASSED ME OUT FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. IF YOU HAVE TO DRINK DO IT VERY MODERATELY. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snwbrdchck02 0 Posted July 11, 2003 I've drank while on accutane (like 5 or 6 times) and like up to 8 drinks, and I was fine, and my blood work was fine. My skin was just flaky from being dehydrated the next day, that's all. and the sun thing is a good idea to...try to avoid it or put like spf 45 on..i'm a lifeguard and i'm on my last month of accutane, so I can't really avoid it, but I put spf 60 on ever 30-45 mins hehe! but I still get pink every day almost! it sucks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davina 0 Posted July 12, 2003 thanks for all your replies/help snwbrdchck02 i used to be alifeguard too but i reckon thats where my probs started as i was always in the cholrine, heat, sea and after i finshed the job my face came back with revenge.. o well hopefully accutane will help luv davina! x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

urscrewed 0 Posted July 13, 2003 I think salt water's suppose to be good for your face? Helps mine anyways... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davina 0 Posted July 13, 2003 snwbrdchck02 everyones obviously. i guess cholrine and sun help cuz it drys out your skin but my derm said it can provide temporary benefits but once you stop going in the sun you break out as your skin produces excess sebum.. mabey thats why i broke out so bad after it. good luck n e ways// also my derm told me to avoid chlorine/sea/sun whilst using roacc as your skins so sensitive the sun can cause scarring or sumthing? i duno, i guess again everyones different and derms say different things luv davina! x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
