Perhaps you should call your dermatologist? I think you're supposed to be weighed before you start treatment. The fact that you say you're not being seen again until December is a reason to enquire ab...

Blue Moon, you should! I forgot to mention...it's not an American BB cream, it's a Korean one. I'm not sure if you've ever tried a BB cream, but the ones from the US like Garnier BB cream are suuuuper...

I have a similar issue, I'm using the Vichy Dermablend, and it's not really mixing well with my skin on Accutane. It was perfect when my skin was less dry, but now it just seems to cling to the dry ar...

Some supplements that are good for joints are Glucosamine Sulphate, Chondroitin, Fish Oil (without the vit A), and Hyaluronic Acid. I am not sure if Accutane reduces fluid in the joints, but I suspect...

Day 13, Week 2 Skin is getting progressively drier. I don't really notice until I put my foundation on. The make up kind of clings to the dry areas. I use a liquid foundation, but the coverage is hig...

Keep posting! I am reading your log. I am on day 11 of Roaccutane, and it's my second course. I have been taking 20mg from the start. I have noticed similar side effects to your own, but I haven't fe...

Hey! So nice to know about others taking multiple courses of Roaccutane I'm on my second course too, day 12 at 20mg I'll be bumping up to 40mg on Wednesday, eep. Best of luck with your course!

Day 11, Week 2 Lips are struggling even more now. They are peeling a lot. I am not looking forward to bumping up to 40mg in four day's time, as my lips aren't liking 20mg! Ah well, at least it means ...

Day 9, Week 2 My lips definitely feel drier. They don't feel too bad (I know they're going to get a lot worse when I increase my dosage), but they're definitely becoming more irritated and in need of...

I'm on my fifth day of Accutane. I've been going through a pretty stressful time, which has triggered quite a few physical symptoms (heart palpitations, racing thoughts, short temper). I want to know ...

Awesome Blue Moon! Good luck on your course. I may go up to 20 mg if this doesn't work. My first course was 40mg and I had bad headaches. I took my 2nd pill, and I have no side effects except another...

One thing I've noticed is that once you actually *start* accutane, you start noticing and examining every microscopic part of your face. Remember to continue being kind to yourself This is very tr...

Day 3, Week 1 Not much to report, but just thought I'd share this. Since consuming Accutane with bigger meals, my headaches have stopped. On the first day, I only had rice and vegetables for dinner. ...

Good luck I am on my third day at 20mg, and also on a second course. The dose is too low to notice any significant side effects. I had a bad headache the first day, but I've been right as rain for th...

I've been on just about every acne medication. I've gotten my face cleared up pretty well except for blackheads on my nose and the occasional pustule (usually in the chin/jaw area). My biggest problem...

Yep, water and ibuprofen for the headaches. Up to 800mg ibuprofen is good at a time, if needed, but it's cleared by the liver, so in combination with accutane too much could drive up your liver enzym...

Day 2, Week 1 I woke up with a headache today. It was nothing severe, just a dull ache behind my eyes. It DID make me feel slightly nauseous and dizzy, and it lasted for half of the day, but I'm alri...

I wish you all the best in your treatment. Why are you only doing 4 months? Didn't you learn your lesson about quitting your medicine early? ) Seriously, since 20mg and 40mg are such low doses, you m...

Day 1, Week 1 It's back...I have warmly welcomed the 'tane back into my life for the second time. Thankfully, I'm rather happy about it. I have been waiting for this day for too long. I was on Roac...

Usually these "combination packs" for skin, hair and nails contain a selection of essential vitamins that you'd probably take separately otherwise (such as zinc, vitamin C, and B vitamins). I doubt th...

I always look at the Botanics range when I'm in Boots, and I sometimes come close to buying something (last time it was the face mask), but I end up scaring myself out of it cause I don't know if I wa...

You'll notice your blackheads disappear first. Accutane will "purge" your skin, so the smaller and milder spots will show up first, and then they'll disappear. I remember how clear my t-zone looked ju...

I don't know anybody in my personal life with acne at the moment. I used to know a few people with bad acne in my teens, but I know nobody now who I can confide in. Therefore, I suppose I do notice ac...
