I decided to show an updated picture. I am really pleased with my results. I'm basically breakout free since I stopped treatment. Still working on Scars but that's moving along. I recently went tubing...

I am still clear! It's wonderful! Accutane was the best decision I've made. It's made such a difference in my life. I got to stop obsessing about my skin and move on to other obsessions. LOL

U look fantastic!!!!!!! congrats I know u said u had some issues on 80mg (I did as well) did u go back down to 50/60mg? thanks, kim Thanks guys! I went back down to 40 mg. I would have personally ...

I don't have any good before shots, but this is when I was pretty bad for me. My first week. Me a few weeks ago. Me with just a powder foundation and lipgloss. Me hiking earlier th...

After a long 7 months I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's bittersweet because now I'll be freaked out every single morning! I haven't had any breakouts for 2 months and it's been wonderful. I still have a lot...

  You're on a lower dose. So it takes more time. So you gotta give it time. Honestly I had no hope at all the first few months. My acne was horrible. Now it's all gone. Just red marks that are ac...

Seriously, Accutane is not that big of a deal for most people. The dose can be adjusted if you have major side effects. The derm who first prescribed Accutane to me, described it as a fantasic drug w...

Some dermatologists like to mess treat acne with other methods first, to see if it responds to those therapies. Topicals, antibiotics, etc. I personally spent 10 YEARS trying all that stuff. Finally...

I believe the process is slightly easier in the beginning because you won't have to wait the month to make sure you aren't pregnant. It should be meet with the doctor, go get blood work, and then aft...

I'm in my 7th month of accutane and in MY experiences the symptoms were not that bad. I didn't even get dry lips, dry skin, or anything really but dry eyes. I had slight joint soreness when they bumpe...

The doctor decided since we got a late start to extend me another month so as soon as my blood work comes back I'll start month 7! I can't believe how fast it's gone. Seriously crazy! I'm feeling go...

Dr appt tomorrow to see if I'll continue another month or be done! So far it's gone like this: 40 mg months 1-3 80mg month 4 40 mg 5-6 I have been clear this month except 1 spot on my jawline. I'll ...

GREAT news! Im up to 40mg..20 am and pm and no big difference corners of my mouth a little dry but skin and lips still OK I didnt think I was THIS oily problems with the skin around nose..I just peels...

So today I was in the car and there was good light so I pulled out a mirror and saw the craziest thing! My nose pores were pushing out the sebaceous filaments!!!! I've been dying for this to happen! I...

I'm in my 6th month of accutane and I think it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. There are so many horror stories I was terrified to start, but now I'm almost done and I'm shocked how f...

Everyone reacts differently.With that said, I'm in my sixth month and broke out steadily until probably the middle of month 5. I've had two minor breakouts this month (sixth). My IB never stopped unti...

Hi Just wanted to let you know ive read your story/progress and just want to wish u luck! as a fellow older lady dealing with this crap (42)..I can relate! My Dr wanted to start me on 40mg but I was...

I broke out this morning with a whitehead pimple right in the middle of my forehead. It's a good look. LOL This entire treatment I've only broken out on my forehead about 3 times. I hope this is the l...

That's awesome! I'm definitely going to have the same mixed feelings! Wanting to stop but knowing I will live in fear of breakouts for a while. If you've been clear for two months I think you are in...

Soooo... my tris went down to 213 from 273 but she's still not comfortable with it so I'm back down to 40 mg. I really wanted to finish strong. I'll try to keep my tris under control this month and m...

Saw the derm today! I'm staying on the tane at least another month and then we will decide. She's only had one patient ever need a 7th month but if anyone can do it it's me! LOL She also gave me two...

Tomorrow is my Dr appt to start month 6! Time goes by so fast on accutane!!! It's insane. I have two breakouts still on one cheek. They are very red and inflamed. I'm hoping that's enough to get her t...

Hi all, A quick update! I went to the dermatologist for my latest appointment and she told I was done Accutane. I thought I had a little time left...but guess not! So high 5! I made it. To transiti...

So I'm at 5 months 3 weeks and I've broken out in two places. One on each cheek. It's the inflamed kind of breakout too. I swear this will never end! I'm afraid I'll be doing another round of accutane...

Awesome!!!!! So glad you are still clear!
