Can't believe this has had 135 views and nobody has any thoughts on it at all. I was relying on you guys as the true acne experts to ask about this!  

Anyone got any thoughts on this please?

I have, but stayed on the spironolactone and erythromycin alongside the accutane for a short time to minimise the impact of the transition. You probably won't get too bad an initial breakout starting ...

Hi everyone, I haven't been on here in years, but I'm having a bit of a makeup removal crisis at the moment and really need to ask some advice from you all about it. If you're not up for reading the d...

Week 19, Month 5. Had thought there'd been some improvement but now have a huge one on my forehead that's so sore. Hair still falling out loads too. Absolutely had enough now. ...

Week 17, so Month 5 now, and still breaking out and losing tonnes of hair.....  When will it stop?!

Week 16. Had to go back down to 10mg because the hair loss I was getting was genuinely insane. My hair is so much thinner now and it's still falling at a crazy rate. Going to have no hair left at all ...

Week 12. 15mg. Still making my skin significantly worse not better. I am so disheartened. My skin looks so much worse now than when I started the drug 3 months ago. Is an init...

Even when the antibiotic effect of Lymecycline fades it continues to work as an anti-inflammatory, so people can have good long-term success with it because it reduces inflammation indefinitely.

It's very common to take the pill and spiro together, especially as spiro can sometimes mess with your cycles. So I would personally go for it, but make sure it's a pill the helps acne rather than mak...

Getting worse every single day, especially since I increased to 15mg on Tuesday.  My dermatologist said that would help but all it's done is make things evenÂ...

Such a bad breakout this morning, I've literally been crying all morning and haven't moved from my bed. Haven't had ones as bad as this in ages. Why is it still making my skin worse instead of better ...

Has anybody else experienced this please? I'm really losing hope and worrying that accutane is just never going to work for me. 

Count yourself lucky and don't question it would be my view. I'm still breaking out badly and I'm in week 10. Really losing hope.  

I'm on 10mg as well, in month 3. Most recent research does suggest that 10mg and 20mg courses are just as effective with far fewer side effects, so I'm trying to maintain hope. I also don't think my b...

Thank you lovely, I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to me about it. I really hope your course runs smoothly and gets you the beautiful clear skin you want and deserve. My side effects hi...

Yeh, I feel like my skin needs a higher dose but the rest of my body can't take it if that makes sense. My dermatologist is convinced 10mg will work for me. I just feel so disheartened that I'm in mon...
