I'm in the same boat as you right now and came here looking for solutions. I don't know what to do either!

Hi Jamie Ann, I am just on my 2nd course of Accutane now. Apparently it is really important to follow on with further treatment post acctuane with a retin based gels etc. My Derm told me that once ...

Good luck hopefully everything works out for you! Thanks and same to you!

Your skin is looking beautiful and I can tell that with the makeup on too!

I'm done and off Accutane! 100% clear as of now, hoping it stays this way

Just stopping in- you're doing so well!!! I agree with the Clarisonic, you should probably quit. I sometimes feel that's what made my acne come back in the first place. It almost over cleans your face...

Month 3: I'm starting my 3rd month and my derm wants it to be my last. Never heard of anyone on a 3 month trial of Accutane but we'll see. What's everyone think about this? She said I can do a 4th if...

That's great! Yeah, it's probably a good idea to get as much in your system as you can as long as the side effects are mild to make sure it works for a loooooong long time (forever). I can't wait to b...

DAY 28: I'm almost a month down! Wow! Alright well I had one active (!!!!) this past week and was so excited for it to clear and to not have any actives, but 2 others took its place. Which I shouldn...

Nice! Sounds like steady improvement to me. I'm feeling you on the lips thing, some days are bad and others are bearable. All worth it for clear skin though!

DAY 19: Things are looking up! My eyes are not dry and red anymore (YAY!) and my lips are dry but it's 100% more bearable than it was a few days ago. I only have like one zit on my face at this point...

Good luck with your second course! I'm about 6 weeks from finishing my second course. Thanks! Nice, I hope you're happy with your progress!

I always get my lab work done 3-4 days before my appointment to give them time to run it and send it to the doctor. I agree 15 days does sound a bit early especially on the first month. Thanks! Yeah...

I have a question. My doctor told me (the day I got my prescription) to schedule my appointment for 3 weeks later to come back to view my lab results and get my next prescription. Well, I did that and...

I would be more worried if you didn't have dry skin and (especially) dry lips. These are the cardinal side effects of Accutane, and in fact they are sometimes used by Dermatologists to measure patient...

Ugh I hate Clarvis. I didn't have these symptoms on Amnesteem and it's pissing me off! DAY 12: Skin? Dry. Lips? Dry. Eyes? SUPER DRY! I'm hating this at the moment! My skin isn't even any better rea...

I was on 40mg last time and am on the same this time as well. Not sure if there's a reason why, I am with a different doctor. But yeah I agree with you that everything's worse this time around. Was th...

Good luck on your course! Ill be starting my second course as well in the next couple days. Awesome! (Well not really but you get the point!) I'll be sure to follow your progress DAY 8: I am hating...

I feel you girl! My face is itching too. I didn't have this on my first round. Weird right? I was trying to see if I was having an allergic reaction to something I ate or used on my face but there's...

I feel you girl! My face is itching too. I didn't have this on my first round.

Wow you look awesome! I'm on my 2nd round too, with Clarvis as well. I'll keep reading to see your progress! Your story is very similar to mine.

DAY 5: I am HATING Clarvis so far (compared to Amnesteem). I have had more side effects in these first 5 days than I had in 6 months on Amnesteem! Ugh! My lips constantly feel on fire, and I am alwa...

Whitney- yes I am using my old accutane number!     DAY 1:   I FINALLY STARTED BACK ON ACCUTANE! So ecstatic!!!!!! I'm taking Clarvis this time instead of Amnesteem. Anyone know the d...

A little upset here! All this time I was thinking I'd start Accutane this week and go to the dermatologist and learn that the nurse never signed me up for iPledge! I am livid. I now have to wait 30 m...

Sorry to hear you're going through this again! Will be following your journey!!!
