Quiescence

DAY 13 Nearly 2 weeks yay! Skin still looks terrible but does feel better... Approx 3 actives R and L as opposed to 9 and 5 respectively when I started... Still waiting for that IB though. Heres...

By the way did y'all know that accutane is a chemotherapy drug too?... ...(hence the ol' hair loss etc...) I decided to refrain from telling my parents that one...

I hear oatmeal is good and gentle yes... I've just started using sebamed liquid facewash and thats really gentle and pH neutral... seems to be good so far and has not broken me out but i've only use...

DAY 9 So my spots are still calming at the moment, only a couple of actives, and not the huge painful cysts I usually get... some whiteheads near my mouth due to over moisturisation maybe?! Still on...

Dryness is creeping in slightly but lypsyl for lips is really good so that hasnt bothered me yet..also got a tiny dry patch next to my mouth which will probably grow... currently combatting by cetaphi...

Even when you know your dose you just can't compare really... everyones body reacts in such a different way! ....its frustrating cos we all want to know what to plan for!! x x

No, not everyone gets one... theres still a lot of unanswered uestions about this drug methinks... ...but I do think thats one of the reasons they start some people (like me!) on a half dose to try ...

Hi ya I'm on day 6, 20mg once a day, weigh between 49-51kg. Derm has put me on a lower dose over 6 months, which seems (according to a study) to be just as effective as a higher dose with less side ef...

Good luck Love! I'm on day 8 myself so not far ahead of you ...however I fear my skin is unfortunately much much worse x x x

DAY 8 Wowee done with my first week already!!!!!! My skin is actually loads better at the moment....looks the same due to the scarring but where there were deep painful cysts there is now just re...

Good luck to you hun! I'm starting mine in a few days so we should be around the same. Can't wait to see our beautiful skin after all of this   Oh golly gosh I hope so! x x

DAY 6 Skin feels less 'active' but still pretty bad... Have ordered some sebamed face wash as I head its pretty good for acnified sensitive skin...anyone used this before? Have been using simple...

DAY 5 So skin still pretty awful, tiny bit better that it was on day 1... maybe due to being at end of 7 day pill break (BC makes me break out), so about 5 actives Left, 3 actives Right - crazy amou...

Congrats on starting! I'm on day 2 so I will definitely follow your log since we are so close.I'm 5'10, 145 pounds and I'm starting out on 80mg/day. So far the only side effect is the constant headach...

DAY 4 Thanks Jes, I guess you're right about yas....and condoms really do suck, its just hard to take something you know makes your skin worse In the UK of course they tell you all about being e...

DAY 3 I'll soon get bored of writing a daily log I'm sure! Today brought a splitting headache this morning, No dry skin/lips yet! I have ADVICE to ask... I know BC makes my acne worse, but of co...

More accurately....its a really badly taxidermied animal...

DAY 2 Thanks for the support guys! So far just a constant mild headache - not certain its linked to accutane as I swear I was getting symptoms before I took the first pill in expectation!!! :/ @...

Really glad accutane is working for you girls you must feel wonderful! I notice both of you are on 40mg/day though... might I ask what weight you both are if that's not too personal! Just wondering w...

DAY ONE So Got my scary yellow boxes labelled HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE! Feels great to finally have my own log after scouring everyone elses on these forums for months now whilst debating whether or no...

Eek! So this is yet another accutane diary to add to the list... Have been deliberating whether or not to do this log, but I figured it would be a useful thing for me to look back on, plus I'll tr...
