Day 43 -- So, things have weirdly really changed. Obviously still not perfect...but so much better. I did something a little bizarre and basically stopped moisturizing. I think this only really work...

Day 36 -- Feeling sad. I'm still certain I made the right decision to start this drug, and I'm thankful for even the hope of improvement, but I just feel tired and head-achey and self-conscious and ...

Day 33 (3rd day on 60mgs)   Things are not looking good. Can't even really blame it on the upped dosage because I was breaking out pretty badly even before that. Have two humongous cysts on my c...

THANKKK YOU Stephaniesabine -- Good luck to you too! I couldn't agree more with everything you said. The feeling of looking in the mirror is awful -- but I definitely don't make it any easier on myse...

Day 9 -- Creeping along. Nothing really new to report except that I've noticed something weird. The state of my face literally changes HOUR TO HOUR. I've read about similar things on other people's ...

Hello-- After reading what feels like every single accutane log on here I've decided to also keep a log to track my progress (at least what I HOPE is progress) while on my course. I'm on Day 8 so far ...

Hi BreakItOutNow Just wanted to say that I stumbled across your account while trying to make my own decision about starting accutane...it's been extremely helpful and so I just wanted to thank you, ...
