Day 117 Now that I'm a little over half way through month 4 i'm starting to get more side effects. I haven't had an appetite in weeks. I'm just never hungry anymore and have to force myself to eat. ...

Keep up the good work! Are you going to continue to post picture updates - it definitely helps show the progress you've made. Your missed pills should not interfere with progress too much Keep us post...

Day 96 I've been moved to 40mg twice a day. I've broken out a little with each dosage change. Hopefully it wont happen this time. I actually havent taken any accutane in about 5 days. My appointm...

Day 75 Now that I've been on this new dose for awhile, I've had a little breakout, nothing horrible though. But as of lately, my lips have been extremely chapped and dry. Way worse than before! I ...

Day 65 Since nearly tripling my dosage, I had a minor break out, about 3 small whiteheads. Now my complexion is clearing up a lot. This happened when I first started accutane then following with a h...

Somewhere around day 58 Haven't had the time to update lately. My skin has been great, no new break outs and my lips are still chapped and pealing. Had my derm appointment the other day. I'll now be...

Love that you called this log your "Accutane Adventure" - great attitude! Looks like you had very rapid results and I think your derm is wise to go slow (mine did too) and I believe that really helped...

Day 37   Not much progress in the past week. I think I'm getting sick, maybe it's allergies. I had my first random nose bleed the other day and my lips are cracked and randomly bleed too. They ju...

Day 31   1 month down!   Nothing new to report. I haven't broken out in over a week I just have the spots from the old breakout sitting there, hopefully they heal and clear soon.   I a...

Day 28 (i think)   To put it simply: I love accutane.   No more oily skin and things are starting to clear up. I still have some red spots from my bad breakout but things are looking so much...

Day 22   Looks like I'll be staying at 20mg for another month. My dermatologist said that if she bumped me up to 40mg she thinks i'll have another breakout even worse than the one I had last week...

Pictures:   I didn't take any before pictures, but this was a few months ago   This was also a few months ago     A few days ago   Also a couple of days ago, covered with...

I'm only a few days ahead of your...Day 18 today. I'm also seeing blackheads (some that I didn't even know existed) pushing out. I'm having trouble scrubbing off dead skin cells without causing damag...

Day 14   Well this explosion of a breakout on my chin is starting to dry out, so hopefully thats the only big breakout I see. When they claimed that accutane "pushes out everything underneath", ...

Day 11 I spoke too soon with my last post. My chin is breaking out like crazy, to the point where it actually hurts. My lips are still very sore and chapped and feel really uncomfotable. On the positi...

Day 8   I must say, for only being 8 days into this, I am pleased with the results thus far. My lips are extremely dry and annoying and most of my whiteheads are flakey and peeling but I can real...

Day 7   Dry lips. I hate the feeling of wearing chapstick so this is going to be a challenge for me. Other than that, still breaking out as normal, and my skin is still rather oily. I have some p...

Day 5   So far no major problems to report. My lips feel a bit more sensitive than normal, I assume that means there is worse to come. I am continuing to break out as much as I normally do, so no...

Day 1   I picked up my Claravis several hours ago and took my first pill when I finished my dinner. I am extremely anxious for this to start working...I know its going to take some time though. &...

Greetings!   I'm Rachel and I'm 21 years old. I started getting acne at age 10. I've lived over half of my life with severe cystic acne and it is finally time for a change. Over the past few year...
