After being back on Accutane for more than a week, still nothing...no good OR bad side effects. Oiliness still here, but at the same time, no bad side effects like fatigue, stomach pains, etc.

The exact same thing happened to me! The acne on my face went away (after a horrible IB), but then I started breaking out on my back. Not a lot, but they were big and painful. They went away after the...

I'm in the same boat as you; Ive found that meals with around 20 mg of fat have provided for good Accutane absorption. I'm trying to do it the healthy way, either with a handful of walnuts, salad with...

So...been on Accutane again for six days, and my skin is still as oily as ever. I remember when I started, I had normal skin by the fourth day. Hoping the oil will stop flowing soon. In the meantime, ...

I'm back! Had to stop Accutane for three months until my hemoglobin and hematocrit levels went back up. It seemed like forever, but I took my first pill again today. 40 mgs. I hope I won't get another...

Bit of a setback today, and I'm kinda bummed...went in for my monthly doc appointment and she said my hemoglobin levels are too low for her comfort. I guess I'm anemic. She told me to stop taking Accu...

On vacation this week in Santa Cruz, and it's been wonderful not worrying about oiliness or pimples. In fact, I can put sunscreen on my face in the morning and then pile more on in the afternoon and i...

Ugh, that packaging...we get it, we won't get pregnant!!! LOL

Hi Kim! I am starting accutane tomorrow....I am female almost 30 and am tired of having pimples! It has progressively been getting worse the past 2 years and my derm finally prescribed me accutane. I...

Congratulations!! Now you'll have lovely clear skin for your wedding.

580??? Was that a typo? Wow, at first I read 280. Probably best you got off, even though it's disappointing. Sorry!

I'm almost on the exact same schedule as you (I started April 7), so while I can't give you words of wisdom, I sure can relate! I was on 40 mg my first month, now on 60 mg. I know exactly what you mea...

Day 36 - All is clear and normal on 60 mg a day except for something I was afraid was going to happen--I've been using a thick cream around my eyes to help with dryness and make any fine lines less vi...

Love the new look! Great job, Dan & Co.!

I LOVE having no oil...almost more than having no acne! Isn't it wonderful to have your makeup looking the same at the end of the day as it did the beginning of the day?? Who knew that was possible?? ...

Lots of luck! I'm starting my second month, and things have been going great. Bad IB first month at 40 mg, nothing happening so far on 60 mg (knock on wood). I eat extremely clean and exercise regular...

I had my first month checkup yesterday, and it was fantastic! I always had a good diet and exercised, but I was REALLY strict about eating well and keeping on a regular exercise schedule because I did...

Umm I'd say your pharmacist goofed up . You're so right! I just called the Accutane coordinator in my doctor's office, and she said he could've taken medication out from another 40 mg box and get m...

Yesterday I had my second month appointment and the doctor boosted me up to 60 mg a day. However, she said that the manufacturer that made the 30 mg Zenatane was not manufacturing that dosage for the ...

  I'm almost done with my first month, and I've been taking 40 mg a day. My dr. appointment is Thursday, so we'll see if she keeps me at the level or bumps me up to 60 mg. Forgot to add, I've ha...

Kim - AWESOME news! So glad things are going well! Not feeling like you have to hide your skin is a wonderful feeling.

Wow! You look great! Thanks for the pics...I'm sure that will keep a lot of us going.

I'm almost done with my first month, and I've been taking 40 mg a day. My dr. appointment is Thursday, so we'll see if she keeps me at the level or bumps me up to 60 mg. Forgot to add, I've had a co...

I had a few side effects within four days, and got by IB at the beginning of the second week. My skin is really oily though, so it took a while to dry out.

Day 26--not much change. Still no dry skin. A wonderful side effect of non-oily skin-- my makeup stays fresh all day! I went to an event tonight after work, and my makeup looked the same as I'd applie...
