I should also mention that I started at 80 mg a day, bumped up to 100 for a few weeks but am now bak on 80

Unfortunately, I didn't take a before picture of my back. But I'd say it was moderate cystic acne. I didn't have a ton of cysts everywhere, but I would have about 4 to 5 big, painful ones on my back ...

Before! After! I have three weeks left. I had no depression, suicidal thoughts, irritable bowels, or anything like that. I was/still get very tired sometimes, and I had a terrible initial breako...

My derm told me to stop taking it and I have an appointment Monday. Probably will end up good another month on a lower dose.

Anything I should do besides lower dose?

Well... Pretty sure I am experiencing some Accutane related hair loss. I'm 18. Not too down about it except that prom is this Saturday. My cowlick has always bugged me and I have always been self c...

How serious is this? I can still see but it seems like my left eye is getting blurry off and on. Before this, they were getting super dry.

So, I've decided to go ahead and take my derm's advice to bump up my dose from 80 to 100. I was very reluctant, but here are my reasons: my acne is only mildly better and I'm 3 months in. I'm still ...

bump.

I broke out really bad at first with alot of whiteheads. But now, the blackheads on my nose and chine are COMPLETELY gone! It's amazing.

So after my second monthly derm appointment on Accutane, he says that if the big bumps (cysts) aren't gone in two weeks he wants to bump my dose from 80 mg a day to 100 mg a day. Has anyone had a dos...

I am about half way through month 2, my initial breakout is finally over it seems. I'm clearing up, it's still bad and I think I may have a good deal of scarring that I never noticed before because it...

I hope my skin looks at least as good as yours when I'm done with accutane! Mine is cystic and nodular and it never bothered me but I finally pulled the trigger on it because my face hurt too bad and ...

In the past three days, one kid told me that if I wanted to be successful (I'm in a band) then I should try washing my face, a hitchhiker I picked up asked me what I was going to do about my face, and...

Hey everyone. I'm on 80mg a day and in the middle of week two and my side effects are dry lips, dry skin, and now, dandruff. What can I do to get rid of the dandruff and itching and does it mean that...

Yes, you'll need moisturizers! My derm gave me a bunch of samples but I ended up going to an esthetician to get some stuff. It's really expensive, but dermalogca protective barrier booster (something ...

I'm on week 2 and my chin looks about the same as yours. First, don't worry, it doesn't look that gross! One thing I've learned is that most people don't pay as much attention to your acne as you do....

I tried so many different antibiotics for my acne, it would also help I optimally but I would build resistance to it after a few months. I'm now on accutane, and yea definitely don't take it with any ...

I'm the same weight as you and I started on 80mg a day.maybe you need an increased dosage!

Yea I'm just waiting things out for a bit because I now have a slight cough and both my girlfriend and my mom are sick.

Really hoping I'm just sick and it's not the accutane. I don't know if I could take 5 months of this.

I also wanna know about this. Wanna do whatever I can to stay healthy as possible!

Little girl asking me why I had booboos all over my face. It sucks because you know that everyone else thinks a similar thing and the girl just doesn't know better.

I'm on day 7, face stopped peeling as bad but definitely still dry and uncomfortable. My derm told me not to pop anything while taking accutane so I have way more whiteheads than normal but they dry u...
