Thanks! The links in your signature are super helpful, by the way. Yes, I still need birth control as I'm sexually active. I'm nervous though as my doctor wouldn't tell me anything about the Diane-35 ...

Thanks for your reply! I'm currently on Yasmin (and it is the only pill I've ever tried). My doctor did recommend that I try switching to Diane-35 for a while, but I'm not sure if it's the right choic...

My skin has been relatively clear for the past 4 years. Sometimes I get breakouts for a few weeks, but since October my skin has been going crazy. I noticed that I've had an increase in hair on my f...

Thanks! That would work if I could find a salicylic acid lotion. I find the wash doesn't work not because I can't apply it, but my skin just doesn't respond to it. The pads don't have enough product...

Hi everyone, I've been using salicylic acid pads on my chest, and they're working really well. I can't reach my back to apply there though. I was thinking that something in a spray form would be b...

Did it cost you money? I know it probably varies by province, but here I think some dermatologists offer private services (like cosmetic ones). Those aren't covered by the government and cost money, b...

My family doctor considers herself knowledgeable about skin care, and won't refer me to a dermatologist. But she keeps giving me the same treatments over and over which don't work - after 5 years, I'm...

I'll go to the pharmacy and see what they think about foods/medicines that might reduce dizziness. Thanks!   And hopeful87, did doxycycline make you dizzy at all?

Interesting, thanks for your response.   So the dizziness never went away? Because I've only been on this since Wednesday and I've been feeling constantly dizzy. Sometimes it's barely noticeable ...

I know dizziness is a common side effect on Minocycline. What I can't seem to find anywhere is how long the dizziness lasts.   Does this side effect go away after being on the medication for a wh...

I feel like it's a better decision to not be on birth control if you don't have to be. I am 100 % sure I'll be abstinent until I finish my course of Accutane, so there's no reason for me to take it. &...

I'm in Canada, and we don't have iPledge here. My doctor is allowed to prescribe me Accutane if she trusts that I'm abstinent. And I am.   And thanks for your concern, but I know very well that ...

Thanks to both of you.   It doesn't seem like the actual period is any different than normal, it's just the timing that's off. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens next month - it's po...

I'm almost finished my second month of Accutane.   My periods have always been really regular, but this last one was 6 days late. I can't think of any reasons besides Accutane...   I'm not o...
