It has been about 3 1/2 weeks off of accutane. So far I have had minor bumps. I can't even call them breakouts. In the first week off I still felt the effects - dryness. I continued on with the usual ...

My last day of accutane was Monday July 21st. I stopped keeping track of the days once I had even more delays in obtaining Accutane from the pharmacy. I was actually supposed to be done before July ev...

Days 71-99 (present Day) - Its been nearly a month since the last posting. I haven't had much to post. I have had the same side effects which have not gotten better or worse. It seems like the ship ha...

I started experiencing back pain as well but it is not debilitating. What is more bothersome about your latest post is the relapse bit. I never read that but unfortunately I have had to skip/alter day...

Doc didn't say how potent just stated if it gets worse they would be able to send the prescription electronically saving a trip and co pay to the office.

Days 26-30 – The days from the moment we got back from our trip until yesterday have been the most bothersome. Some people have different rankings of side effects that irritate them the most, mines is...

I have not posted in a while due to no major changes the next couple of days (after day 13) and being out of town. Now that I am back in town I do have some updates. Days 14 & 15 - The dry scal...

Day 12 - Today was the first day I really "went out" on accutane. My wife, the little one, and I went to a car show. My wife pointed out how I looked like someone punched me. The cold seemed to accent...

Just thought I share my thoughts and experiences and add on to the assortment of personal journeys with acne and Accutane. I know its long but I feel like longer stories allow people to connect to oth...
