Week 5: I have been upped to 30 mg. I took one pill yesterday and already notice a small improvement, however, I think this is due to a couple other things. My face got pretty bad. I had 9 cysts and ...

Week 4: I didn't really use much on my face other than jojoba oil and some Retin A micro on a few days. I hate to say it, but my face looks worse than when I started. I know this happens to many so I...

I am feeling slightly more irritable, so maybe the accutane is kicking in and affecting me in this way. i don't know. i wish i didnt even have this problem.

Day 5, 2 cysts came out in areas where I know there was looming infection long term. I know it is starting to pull stuff out to clear. I wake more tired and feel slightly off, almost like a hangover. ...

Thank you everyone for the support! I had another glass last night. Feel great today. One small cyst n no side efx. Day 4. Got a log now titled Cali girl.

Yes I was on 40 mg n had bad headaches several years ago so I stopped the drug. This time I will go up to 20mg probably max. However if it won't go into full remission at this dose I may go higher an...

Yes definitely won't be getting drunk. One glass of wine a cple days a week probably won't be a big deal though. I had a glass last night. Do feel More sensitive to it. Have a slight headache today. ...
