30F Starting Dose 60Mg & Freaking Out

Yes, I've been on 60mg the entire time, which is probably good, because I'm 80kg, so on a lower dose I'd have to be on it for ages! My derm (I don't really trust her) wants me to finish after 5 months...

30F Starting Dose 60Mg & Freaking Out

Soooooo, it's been almost 4 months now! I have to say that I've been really lucky and have had only minor side effects. Also, acne cleared up entirely after 3 months. No matter the hormones, no matter...

Period was late 5 days, but then showed up and was the same as usual, so I suppose I'm kind of like you in this respect, skaims. No PMS though - if that's due to Roaccutane, then that must be my favou...

30F Starting Dose 60Mg & Freaking Out

DAY 6 Body aches, dry lips, dry eyes, itchy scalp, but all of these are really minor, to the extent that if I wasn't on accutane, I probably wouldn't notice. So for the time being I'm allowing for the...
