Hi emmygirl, I just read your log! i am happy that someone started accutane the same time as me.. I started on january 1st! Hope it all goes well and i am waiting for more updates from you! Hooray,...

Ugh I'm in America too Kelsey and my first prescription was $610 and it broke my heart, I cried at the pharmacy as well. My insurance kicked in yesterday and of course no one can tell me what I will o...

Wow! I can't believe I am already at day 11 and things are really going great.....I don't have any complaints, in fact my dry eyes have become less irritating and haven't had to use the eye drops as m...

I'm only on my third day, so my expectations in terms of side effects are kind of low, but so far, so good! My lips or face are not dryer than normal, but my eyes are BURNING! It feels like little nee...

I hope everything goes well! can't wait to see the results Thank you so much Alex! I can't wait either!!

How's it going? Any new news on the 'Tane front? So far so good! I am on day 6 and haven't had ANY issues with an IB thank goodness, but have REALLY dry eyes. That is at this point the only side eff...

I'm SO glad to hear things are looking up for you! I've finally been put on Accutane as mine was continuing to get much, much worse! Merry Christmas!!

Bactrim DS works Miracles! It's just a sulfur based antibiotic, pretty strong so if your ance is moderate to severe I would highly recommend it!! My general Practitioner prescribed it for me too so yo...

Yay we are going to be accutane twins the whole time, it will be so nice to have someone to share the experience with! I didn't even think about New Years! That is going to suuuuck! Haha it was a good...

After struggling with moderate acne for nearly 11 years and severe acne for the last 5 months it was time to start Accutane. It got to the point where I walked into my dermatologist's office, she took...

Hello, I can completely relate to your story, I'm pretty much going through the exact thing. I am 26 so similar age and in October my face started breaking out like crazy! My GP prescribed me Cl...

I haven't started Accutane yet, but will in about two weeks, but I have been reading other logs like a crazy person! ha! I have read numerous times that there are differences between first and second ...

Hahaha @ megtree - I seriously don't mind!!! BUT I still think you should def do a log if for no other reason than I can follow along with your progress!! Hopefully emmygirl is going to do one too! &...

Accutane is often not a 'cure'. Many people continue to use different topicals to stay clear after, so I think it is risky to assume that Accutane means you can throw everything else out but the water...

I'm just using water for face wash. That's what my derm recommended me while being on accutane GL on your course, week 3 for me today Yay! Congrats! I've been following your log and it's been real...

  Ahhhhh you better do a log, megtree!! I will absolutely be updating with my progress! Stay tuned, my friend! Oh I will! I'm nervous but SO excited.   > My appointment to start...

My appointment to start accutane is December 23rd (which makes me kind of nervous about being able to fill my Rx in time, here is to hoping pharmacies are open christmas eve!), so we'll be starting ar...

This is so awesome, thank you guys so so much! I've decided on CeraVa as that's what my dermatologist recommended and will get some jojoba oil as well! I'm going to be all prepped and ready to go by t...

Day 4 Not too many side effects still, other than dry skin. One thing that has been bothering me though is the lack of support i have from family and friends. So many of my friends have texted me sayi...

Awesome, thank you so much for all your replies! I really want to get off this dreaded Proactiv and am so ready to start Accutane. I wish I could start today, but have to wait.... Thanks again, I thi...

So I have been using Proactiv for about four years (I know, it's terrible but it actually worked well) until of course I stopped. I'm not sure if it was a combination of things or what happened but ab...

Me too! Going through that same things and am almost 27! Would love to hear if you found something that worked!

I am in the same boat. I am 26 and have had mild to moderate acne since I was 15 but very mild most of the times. In August I moved to a new state and started a graduate program as well as new job but...

I know it! It's so frustrating! My husband and I are seriously about ready to move to Canada because our country just can't seem to get this health care reform figured out. It's pretty sad huh? My app...
