I know you said you don't have Cetaphil where you are from, but Cetaphil moisturizing cream worked wonders for me during my Accutane treatment (cumulative dose 179mg/kg). If you do decide to wash it, ...

How bad is your acne? How much do you weigh? 10mg seems low, although I don't want to worry you because ultimately, the dermatologist should know best. I just finished Accutane and I did it for 6 mon...

why won't you do blood work?

seems like i broke out during my second month. I wouldn't worry about results until maybe the end of the third month at the earliest, fourth month even more likely

Your story sounds like mine. Moderate acne that hardly ceased, despite several attempts with different creams, antibiotics, etc. I'm currently on Accutane and my skin has almost completely cleared af...

Looking back at myself for example, my IGF-1 and Insulin were high from excessive dairy consumption (8-10 glasses of milk per day). What does this have to do with Accutane?

I've done 4 months of Accutane and moderately exercised and lifted weights during that time and have never had any issues.

push through it!!

I agree with ya Adriaaan. I'm currently on Accutane - finishing up 4th month soon and my skin looks better than it has in years. Other than dry skin and hair, I haven't experienced any negative side e...

A headache that lasts that long while taking Accutane should really be discussed with your doctor.

I've been on a high dose for almost 3 weeks and do not have any bad side effects other than dry skin and hair. I believe that there are probably several people out there that have had positive resul...

I had this problem too. Just try shampooing less often, but using conditioner every time you shower.

Switch doctors immediately. No excuse. Give her bad reviews on every website possible.

well, tell us how the doctor's appointment went!

My thought is that you have fluid in your joints and Accutane is drying up all your fluids, so....there ya go.

Dry lips will be the first side effect, maybe some headaches. Within the first week or two. Aquaphor is my best friend. I use it on my lips and inside my nose. Yes, you read that right, inside my nos...

I'm currently taking Accutane (1 month in) and sweat during my regular workouts. I haven't experienced any stinging from the sweat. Are you wiping your face with a towel during your workout? Perhaps y...

I've never heard about taking it with milk. The only thing I've seen is that it's best to take it with some sort of fat containing foods as that is how it is best absorbed into your system. So in theo...

I have been on Accutane for almost 4 weeks now (60 mg/daily) and haven't had an initial breakout - that's not to say I won't get one... Fingers crossed I don't! Good luck!

I do not think that previous treatments will affect the severity of an initial breakout. But this is something you should ask your dermatologist about and let him/her know that a breakout would be a b...

My insurance paid for all of mine and I would assume as long as you have decent insurance, you shouldn't have to pay for it either.

oh no. Let us know what they say

Not sure, but I hope so. I just finished my third week of Accutane and feel like my skin looks pretty horrible. Worse than when I started.

I disagree about the severity of acne for which Accutane can be prescribed. Accutane can also be used for moderate but persistent acne. I'm in the latter case and I've tried just about everything to g...

The drug will not be out of your system. Why risk your liver for one night of fun? Seems pretty silly to me. . .
