Really enjoy reading your log. I've just took my 29th pill, however I'm only on 20mg so the side efrects are very minimal, will be going onto 40mg in a couple of weeks and praying it's still manageabl...

Hope your joint pain dissipates- I know a lot of people experience it for a bit but then it's gone after the initial months! Was your derm planning on upping you from 40 mg to 60 mg if you responded w...

Day 29: Side Effects: Last night, my muscle cramps and soreness were terrible. I couldn't sleep through the night and I kept waking up. Fortunately, my calves weren't sore when I woke up this morning....

I was in the same situation a couple months ago! Honestly, I sometimes wonder if I never ventured on the path of antibiotics whether or not my face would be better compared to today, currently. I was...

Change your pillow case everyday! I know it sounds excessive and crazy, but change it as much as possible (and you can sleep on the flip side of the pillow before changing it). I can't imagine how muc...

I was prescribed Doxycycline after Minocycline stopped working for me. I was on 10mg/day for 5 months, mainly for very persistent moderate acne, and hormonal cysts that were specifically in the area o...

Day 28: Side Effects: Still continuing this week with the horrible breakout and complexion. It really sucks walking around, self conscious and hurts not being able to look at anyone in the face It's ...

Did you have any food sensitivities or intolerances or food allergies you didn't know about prior to having the outbreak? I was on Doxy for five months and I was super clear around the second-third m...

My doctor told me that it takes a full month for Accutane to be fully in your system and one month after Accutane for it to be out of your system (main reason why girls cannot get pregnant one month a...

Even the name of that shampoo sounds soothing, haha! I'll definitely have to check it out! I'm hoping that my scalp normalizes and I don't have dandruff during my treatment because I know that dandruf...

Hey, congrats on almost getting through your first month!!   Just wanted to see if you found anything that works well for your dry scalp! I'll be going on Accutane as soon as I go through the wh...

Day 24: Side Effects: Very bummed out by the state of my face right now! I have a massive cyst on my chin and smaller cysts on my right cheek and small painful whiteheads! And I'm still not pleased en...

Hello! The first 1-3 month on Accutane is the hardest because that's the time when everything comes up, and when I mean everything, I mean all the sebum and bacteria. The areas that you've never broke...

Day 23: Side Effects: The big breakout on my right side is slowing down, but still noticeable. Other than those breakouts and the massive cyst forming on my chin, there is nothing new. Menstrual cycle...

Wow congratulations! Your skin looks flawless now! Hoping I'll be able to have the same results!

Day 21: Side Effects: Ughhhhhhhhhhhh, one of my bad days on Accutane the right side of my face and jawline is covered with pimples and red marks, but I am still not pleased enough to say that it's th...

Hello! If you started using Accutane for a specific problematic area (in this case, being your back), I think it's completely normal for you to be breaking out on your face. The breakout could also m...

Day 18: Side Effects: Today was definitely one of the worst days my face has ever had, but not necessarily acne wise. The area around my nose and mouth have been incredibly dry to the point where appl...

Day 15 Side Effects: Still no bad side effects. My scalp has not been that itchy anymore, but it has been flaking off so easily which is disgusting. Other than that, it has been pretty much the same o...

Hello! Glad to see you're doing well on your course so far! I just finished my 2nd week and I'm not having quick side effects as you! Best of luck to you!
