I'm no expert but that certainly seems like a low dosage to me. I was on 20mg daily for 1 week, before starting 40mg for the remainder of my course. My acne was severe, but a bit different to yours. M...

Thanks for the info. I changed my diet a few months before starting accutane, it didn't clear my acne but it helped with the inflammation. I haven't had any acne on my chin/mouth at all since before a...

You've probably already seen my post if you've been reading about hairloss on this forum. I started accutane in Feb and my shedding started in may and is still ongoing. At its worst, I was shedding up...

Hey, how long after the first course did your acne return? And how long after ending the first course did you start the second?

Sorry to hear it still hasn't resolved. Mine I'm still shedding massively but not visibly noticeable to anybody yet. I've had so much other stuff going on lately which is stressing me that I haven't b...

Hi. From what I have read on forums such as this, it seems that although doctors and pharmacists will advise you against using hydrocortisone on the face, it does work for many people with no adverse ...

Hey sorry to hear you're breaking out already. I finished my course in July. Like you I suffered from years of acne and tried everything before accutane, I was extremely reluctant to try it because of...

Mine was terrible too... Terrible! Mine started I think after 2 weeks. I can't remember when it finished but my skin was totally clear from acne and blackheads at week 11. Hang in there!

Hey - how are you getting on with the shedding now? I just made a massive post about my own shedding experience so far. Hoping it will come to an end soon.

Hey I posted about my terrible hair loss on here last night. My scalp started out very itchy for the first two weeks, this is due to the dryness though and it doesn't mean you're going to lose your ha...

Hey sorry maybe I didn't word that very well. I did finish my course. Well, I finished 2 weeks early but that was due to excessive hair shedding. My course was a total of 22 weeks. I tried not to let...

Hey. I had the worst breakout ever during my first 4 weeks of accutane. It was so painful and just horrific. If I remember correctly, by week 8 I was entirely spot-free and have never had one since! I...

Hey. I'm a female and came off a 5 month course of accutane 4 weeks ago. I'm 24 and was on 20mg for one week, 40mg for 3 months. 50mg for one month then back to 40mg for the remainder. Your story soun...
