Hi all! I've been so busy, I haven't posted in a while. I've been on 10 mg for around 6 (or 7) weeks. I haven't had any major breakouts in a couple of weeks. My skin texture is a bit strange, though, ...

Hey! I´m in my 20th day. The IB seems to be subsiding. The pimples I had are healing now, and maybe one or two are coming on. On friday I´ll be on my third week. Still anxious, though. I run to the...

Hey Tuggy, make sure you take your pill WITH A MEAL. Once I took mine by itself and had a horrible headache all day. And yes, drink at least 2 liters of water per day. My IB started at day 7, so yours...

Hey Ryan, good luck! It's nice to hear Accutane worked for you before. I'm sure this time it'll be the same! Keep your progress posted!

Hey low-dosers! How's everyone doing? I'm in my third week today (10mg)!! My skin is better than last week. Have one chin pimple that doesn't go away, a few that are drying up, and a few small, smal...

Hi NickMak! Good luck!   What type of acne do you have? And for how long is your derm putting you on Accutane? Great that someone else is going through the same treatment! It seems most people do...

Hey girls, thanks for your posts! It's really important to know that there's someone out there going through the same experience! Blue Eyes, I'm sure it will work out. Both of my sisters had moderate-...

Hi Lorri x, Thanks for replying! Today I took my 16th pill. And wow! I hope I respond to Accutane as well as you did! I'm in the middle of a IB, been on it for about a week. So I guess it started one ...

Hey! Anyone on 10-20mg?? Please share your experience!!!  

Hi all, I started low dose accutane for my mild-moderate acne 2 weeks ago. I'm taking 10 mg daily. I'm a 33 years old gal (and should not be suffering from acne anymoreeee!!!!!!). Anyway, I have been ...

Hey everyone! Someone asked about splitting the dose? My doctor told me to take it all in the morning. Spiro is also a diuretic, so if you take it at night, you'll have to visit the bathroom every ten...

Hi everyone! About birth deffects while on spiro -yes, it's true, that's why doctors advice to take it with a BCP. How's everybody doing? Kelly? Girlygal, you'll feel better soon. It takes the antidep...

Hi Girlygal. Just 3 months ago I was feeling like you. You'll get better, but it takes time. It took aprox 1 and a half months to start feeling the anti-obsessional effect of prozac going on. My psyc...

Hi everyone! Kelly, I think you should see your derm and go on accutane. My sisters took it and hardly get (even small) pimples anymore. One of them took it twice. I'm almost on month 3. It has reall...

Hi Kelly, yes I was in Androcur once, a few years ago. It's much stronger than spiro. I remember that in 3 months I was totally clear, and didn't have a pimple for years. I only took it three or four ...

Hi Kelly, it seems that you're doing better!! Hang in there! About the oil, my skin wasn't so oily, so by two weeks on spiro I had to buy a really rich moisturizer. My acne was moderate, mainly breaki...

Hi Ladies! Kelly, how are you doing?????   I've been 2 months on spiro. Here are the results so far: first of all, this is the quickest acting treatment (for acne) that I have taken. I can't say...

Laura: spiro shouldn't make you break out more. It may even be possible to see some results in 3 weeks (although it takes 4 months to see the full effect). I've been on it for 1 and a half months, I g...

Hi everyone! Now I've been on spiro for one month and a half. Here are my results so far: I'm breaking out much less than I used to, I'd say about 70 percent less. My face is dry. I'm using a very int...

Hey Kelly, how are you doing? Hope everything is fine!!! Let me know.

Hi, you have to give spiro more time to work. I think it helps acne in the body, but i'm not sure. Good luck, keep us posted of your progress!! This is week 5 on spiro for me, it's going well. Kelly,...

Kelly, if you're so worried about what's going on, why don't you go to your doctor? I think a gyno would be better than a derm, maybe you could get your hormones tested. I really hope you get over thi...

Hey Kelly! How are you doing? Are things going better?

Kelly, spiro (unlike androcur) doesn't contain hormones. It has a mechanism that lowers androgens, but is not a hormone per se, so don't worry about that. You've only been 1 and a half month on it, so...
