I completely agree with DarkDragon. I'd live on accutane rather than have acne again. The psychological effects are unbelievable. For instance, I realized just how much I avoided looking in a mirro...

I'd also like to know what are some of the highest trigs that people have experienced (first hand, experience)? Has anyone been able to decrease them with dietary changes while on accutane? How long...

Went for my first lab tests since starting accutane....not so good. Triglycerides up from 71 to 255. That's quite a jump. However, I did have two glasses of wine the night before. I am wondering h...

Okay so I've been on accutane for 5 and a half months. The first month i was on 40 mg everyday and by the end was starting to clear up, for the next two months my doctor bumped me up to 60 mg , and by...

I would recommend it, however, I am only in my first month. It is already clearing up my skin slowly and the side effects are tolerable, thus far. Week 2-3 was pretty rough, but all that went away. ...

Starting to see some improvement! I love not having oily skin. Jeez, I didn't realize what I was missing. It really makes a difference on the appearance of your skin. Acne is minimizing. I still ...

Day 24: So now the dryness of my face is really setting in...totally tolerable, I'm just going to moisturize more. And blackheads more visible.

it's been ten days and the thing is still there. it is not inflamed, but a hard little knot can be felt...we'll see!

Yeah, you are right, there is no hard evidence to support the theory, either way. More than one study needs to be conducted to prove anything. However, considering it decreases vit E levels in the b...

Day 19: Awwwwwe, everything is starting to settle down a bit. I don't know why, but day 13-18 was rough. Physically, I felt as though my body was just in overdrive, painful, and just ill. It has g...

For those of you who don't know, or for those that may have forgotten....take vitamin E during accutane to decrease side effects.

yeah thanks, same to you! I, too, was extremely hesitant and only decided to take it at 32, when I realized the acne was never going to go away and my face was just getting more and more wrecked. I ...

Day 16: the bleeding business went away, but overall just feel a bit miserable. I posted in the general forum more about this....fatigue, sore joints, lack of endurance.....

Alright, so I am on day 16...major breakout with huge cyst on my chin---normal, from what I understand. Face is starting to get dry, flaky, peely---normal, as well. However, along with this stuff......

Be sure you are hydrating well if you're on spiro and accutane...spiro is a diuretic. I'm on day 16 and definitely am having a serious initial breakout. I've given up on worrying about my appearance ...

Day 13: Well, things are really starting to happen....I am breaking out like crazy. Prior to starting, I would have 2-3 cysts at any given time and a ton of microcysts. Now I have a humongous mass ...

Man oh man. I had no idea this could be so painful...I've had gnarly cystic and microsystic acne fro ten years now and this thing on my chin is by far the largest, most insane thing ever. How long d...

Today is day 12. I have a humongous underground, hard, painful, marble size mass on my chin. It's not even visible yet, but i can feel it. Is this what the intitial breakout is all about?? How long...

Occassionally. But not three at a time. Day 11: chapped lips because I went a day without applying stuff just to see what would happen. No major initital breakout yet.

Have you tried Philosophy brand wash called Purity. It comes in cream and gel form. I like both. AMAZING. Melts off makeup, gentle on face, doesn't clog pores, and feels soft. Melts off eye makeup...

Oh so many come to mind!! I have definitely heard "what's wrong with your face" a kazillion times. From family. One time I had to have a Dell rep come over to fix my computer. Cute guy. We sat an...

nomo did you ever get spots on your back before you started taking Accutane? I am on day 20-ish and I have started getting them, never had any before now. Try not to worry too much about what might ha...

Day 8: skin on lips feels a bit thinner. 3 mongo zits on my back. face breaking out a bit more than normal. i am insanely impatient!
