Heyy you should know that although you may see these stories abour accutane showing improvement after a week or two in, yhe truth is that for most cases, accutane takes it time to work. I am 5 days f...

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL 100% My 7th week on Accutane was the absolute worst. I was depressed- my skin was horrible as well. Having to go to school every single day was embarrassing. Trust me I know how y...

I would say its gotten a little better, I still am pretty confident that I look worse than whan I started because all that acne I got when I started just turned red and flat and is chillin. I keep get...

hey I remember you! yea we started like the same day taking the accutane. Did you get your dose changed? I am finding the same thing is happening to me, and in the same areas. This would be a good ti...

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm on day2 so all that fun still to come for me. Do you work or study? Any chance you can "hibernate" for a week or two just to ride out the worst of it? You alre...

Hey!!! I think is the perfect time to quit   Im in my 2nd month of accutane and taking diane 35 (a bcp full of estrogen and antiandrogen that seems to be very good at helping hormonal acne) &nbs...

I started taking accutane on May 23th and at the time my skin was quite under control since 1 month earlier i have started taking diane 35 (bcp that helps with acne).   After 5 days i started to...

Wow your skin looks amazinggg!! You have 2 months left so I cant imagine how good your skin will look at the end of the course. Congratulations!!!!

Im on day 36 and starting to clear up from mi initial break up which lasted a month with ups and downs. However i must admit its kind of a bummer to read these comments. When you start accutane I gues...

Thanks for your reply Let's hope so!!!

Hi everyone! On March my dermatologist decided to put me on accutane due to a mild-moderate but persistent case of acne. Before starting she prescribed me Diane35, a birth control pill to treat acne. ...

Hey, I'm sorry I missed this post I hadn't been online in a while. I would hope you are feeling a bit better now? Once my skin started drying out my ib ended. I didn't have an awful ib because I was s...

Hi matt!! I'm so interested in how things went for you. I'm in the same situation you were a month ago. I am on day 18 and getting better from the worst breakout ever which started on day 13 14 but lu...

Hey everyone!! Im on day 17 and breaking out like CRAZY. Im now definetly in my purging period. During the first week I broke out in many whiteheads. During second week my skin was pretty clear, ju...

Quick update (about 7 weeks into treatment): [*]overall tone of skin has improved, no serious breakouts, wishing my pores were smaller but whatever. genetics. [*]not super dry; using the Origins Dr...

Heyyyy time does not pass haha I'd love having a time machine and just go forward 2 months from here.   Right now my skin is doing well, I'm having only 2 actives but i feel like 2 are about t...

You have a great attitude towards life!! I think it's so important to stay positive and being grateful with life for everything we have. We often just look to all of our flaws, like acne, and forget a...

Hi! I've heard that you can break up at the beginning of the course when you start taking accutane (the so famous initial breakout) and when you start taking higher dose, which is your situation. Righ...

Thank you Mary! I think is so sweet that people like you continue giving advice and helping us, even though you've already finished your course. Most of accutane users finish the treatment, get clear ...

Thanks for your kind and positive reply That makes me feel much better and gives me strength to pass these purging phase.   I'm on day 9 and my skin continued purging in many small whiteheads, ...

I totally get you. I feel so identified with every single thing you've said. These past days I have been feeling so sad and ugly and unsocial. I just go to college, come back and lock myself in my roo...

Hi Sarah, i'm glad you achieved your clear face and get rid of 99% of your breakouts   I have just started my accutane course. I'm on day 6 taking 40mg/day and my skin is already purging. I hav...

Heyyyy buddy!! I'm in the same exactly situation as you! I thought I was the only one since everybody seems to report their IB after 2 3 weeks. So its good to see I'm not the only one   I know ...

Hey guys! I am a female and currently taking 40 mg/day. I have read your whole posts (the 50 pages) and was anxiously looking forward for that moment when you all start saying "no new breakouts" "one ...
