Day 178. Summer has arrived. The pills have been on and off, accompanied by moods, I don't know what else to call them, moods. Freaked the fuck out when after a very low dose zits, (zits!) started p...

Day 135. My eyes, why?! This brainfog is sooo the last thing I need right now. I can't think. I keep looking at my textbooks, just trying to make sense of it, but nothing happens. My mind is just......

About the coconut oil, just put whatever amount you want in your hair and massage it into your scalp. Just remember to cover it with a plastic cap or old towel or shirt or something, so it doesn't get...

Hi! And welcome.   I heard someone used thick coconut oil, like the one you find in jars in health-shops etc. Supposedly, if you cover your hair in it like a mask and wrap it in something for a ...

Hope the backpains stay away. I have had some bad pains myself lately, but going to 0, then 20, then 30 mgs, seems to have helped. As far as the brain fog goes, it is probably one of the ways you reco...

I'm sorry to hear about the cysts. But they will go away, it's nothing other than their last feeble attempt to fight the accutane. The brain fog is incredibly annoying, and the feeling of not really, ...

Day 129. About. Anyway. Went to my derm, got some advice, some repeat-cautionary tips and tricks, some stuff I'm supposed to put on my face when and where it makes a wound. What with the War of "What ...

*Cradles giant accutane pill* my precious my preccciooooouuussss I am sorry you are experiencing this! Have you considered reducing your dose? There are several people on these boards that seem to be ...

Thanks Meg. Aaah, it's so frustrating. Right now I'm in such a bad mood, or not really; it's just that the smallest things piss me off. This leads to me snapping at people, and then becoming sad becau...

Day 95. Or something. Still hiding in the depressing corner of the internet. I think I'm almost acne free, apart from the remnants of those pioneers that have lived on my face for months. I swear, it'...

I live in switzerland so we have this 'chapstick' called labello. The normal one was pretty much useless but now i use the moisture-boosting one which is slightly better. I'll ask the derm for suggest...

Congrats with your two-month mark! And so sorry you haven't been feeling well. It does suck when it piles up like that, but it will all pass! I have a range of lip-products, adjusting which one I use ...

Day 77. I think. I'm sick, don't know if it's a cold or what. Suuuper low vitamin D-levels. Weather is grey. Not in the best mood, but I think that's because I am sick, and probably because I have rea...

Speaking of Accu-gators, I can definitely see where you're coming from. I'm beginning to suspect the maker of accutane of trying to create his own little army of hybrids. I feel like I'm shedding skin...

Let me tell you a tale of horror, of darkness and despair. 'Tis a cyst that lives on a young womans face. A beast that arose from the depths, a mountain of red towering on the apple of her cheek, wre...

I can so relate to your complaint about lighting. I'm on day 40 today as well...all I can say is...I just haaaate it too It's weird how consistent accutane can be with it's side effects, reading over...

So, it's day 44. About. Saw my derm yesterday, got bumped to 20/40 alternate days. Took some blood, discussed side effects thus far and generally decided it's working so let's just roll on. My derm i...

If you don't have one yet, try to get a good shower oil, like Eucerin or something else. It helps combined with lotion. Glad you're doing well and hope the weather is improving.

I hope things start to smooth out for you soon, and that you will get some relief from the headaches, and the pain. I asked my derm about pain relievers while on Accutane, because I was aware of the h...

It's day 18, no big side effects except dryness. A few new spots here and there, but nothing much and they seem to go through the stages pretty quickly.   Just to mention it, if you're going on ...

It's day 14, people! Two weeks on accutane and something is definitely happening. Headaches are gone, some random pains have popped up every now and then, my skin is dry. It was probably a little bit ...

Thank you for the support CWR24 and Kim28! Encouraging words mean a lot when there's no one else around me who's going through the same thing. Biiig family, everyone else has perfect skin. Like every...

Hi Megtree! I'm not on the same type of Iso as you, but I have found that, at least with mine, it helps to take it in the middle of the largest meal of the day. So I eat half my dinner, take the pill,...

Emmygirl! Glad to see you have such a positive attitude after feeling so down. I have been through the same thing myself, not daring to even leave the house. But now we are on accutane, and it will wo...

I have been sneaking in to your log every now and then over the last few days, and have now read it all. I know what you're going through is horrible, and I know that sometimes that is the most annoyi...
