It worked wonders for me. I had psychological problems before I started and it had no mood changes whatsoever. No back pain, headaches, hair loss, digestive problems or erectile dysfunction, i pers...

I agree with leelowe . It deserves professional attention. You may need steroids to reduce the inflammation. Don't mess with it. It will probably go away on its own, but you should see your doc. That'...

Chris1137 is absolutely right. doxycycline is anti microbial and more importantly anti inflammatory. Antibiotics can buy you time to either outgrow acne or allow the topicals to take over. 50mg is low...

Sun exposure will cause redness. Make sure that you wait a half hour after washing before using tretinoin. Moisturizer/sunscreen might sound silly when you already have greasy skin but it may help.

On the subject of dopamine. Bupropion is a fantastic drug, it can give you energy if malaise is a problem and improve your concentration without the side effects of SSRIs. Of course it's prescription ...

With respect to jchawk, supplements are not a treatment for mental illness.Anxiety and depression are a serious problem. Don't let it go unresolved. skyline, it sounds like you're in pretty bad shape ...

You have to use it on your entire face. If your acne wasn't severe inflammatory before doxycycline, I don't think that you will breakout. Tretinoin is excellent, I've used it for years with good resu...

Lore91 is right. In your case, anxiety is not worth the benefits of accutane. I won't question that you're not having real symptoms but your irrational fear of accutane is exaggerating them.If you sto...

No it isn't. Sun damage prematurely ages your skin. Benzoyl peroxide an excellent treatment.

Btw, don't apply the moisturizer before the medicine. After is best. chippy is right. Once a day should give you better results

the mixture thing sounds weird.tretinoin should be used alone at night and benzoyl peroxide cream in the morning. Using a topical antibiotic sounds pointless in your case. Mild acne can easily be mana...

Acetaminophen is a better pain reliever. That what I use for headaches. Has the anxiety got any better?

.05% is good. Yes you could use it every other day until you start to tolerate it better. Moisturizer in the morning, I have to stress that sunburn can become severe before you know it. Use sunscreen ...

There are a lot of things that cause headaches. Where does it hurt? Are you taking any headache medicine, they help a lot. When is the last time you took accutane? Do you have any other problems?

What concentration are you using? If you are using more than a pea sized amount for your entire face. Then you're using too much. You should definitely start a moisturizer/ sunscreen because tretinoin...

Relax. You're not going blind. The world is not coming to an end. I'm guessing that your dermatologist was trying to calm you down. The evidence for accutane induced pseudotumor cerebi is so scant tha...

Coming off oral antibiotics abruptly is better than tapering off. It may seem like a terrible breakout overnight but a rebound is inevitable, tapering just increases antibiotic resistance.Taking a one...

I wouldn't worry too much. Double vision really is the tell tale sign. If you get drug induced pseudotumor cerebri, you just stop taking it and it goes away. Make sure your drinking enough water. NSAI...

What I meant was that hair loss is hereditary and basically inevitable. I don't think accutane will change that. I would just deal with whatever complications if any as they happen. Lip and skin dryne...

If hair loss runs in the family then I seriously doubt accutane will change your chances. I think that your dermatologist is offering you accutane because he or she understands the limits of the topic...

I have nothing but good things to say about accutane, but it's complicated and expensive. honestly I think topicals can keep up with your problems. Back skin is tough, really tough. To get full benefi...

When I was on differen my skin always had a greasy appearance. I also rarely got blackheads.after 6 months, there won't be much more improvement. You can continue with your treatment and eventually gr...

Amen to saffron's sentiment. We are not doctors or scientists.the original post was 3stars asking if he should be scared away from accutane by risk of going blind or deaf. Even if it's possible, the c...

Doxycycline is a good drug, I never got much benefit from clindamycin. Lately doctors have been getting away from concomitant use of topical and oral antibiotics. I really like retin-a but make sure ...

that was my best guess. I think moisturizer will help, cerave products was the best I've used. How long does the dermatologist plan on keeping you on accutane? Btw, How cold is it out there?
