It's the Accutane, and it likely won't go away until your course is over. 3 options: Reduce your dose to seem if that reduces the pain (but then you might have to be on Accutane for longer) Take fish...

Hey all, Is anyone else out there experiencing big aches and pains, more than is normal, when doing strenous exercise, particularly jogging, when on isotretinoin?? I'm really struggling to make gain...

Hi all. Well, my son is on day 6 of Accutane, 40 mg and he has started to get an extremely itchy scalp as well as the dry lips. Just wondering if anyone experienced the scalp itching and what we can...

I'm just completely out of ideas as to what I can do to clear up my acne. I'm turning 28 y/o this year and I'm still suffering through it as if I was 16. The problem is that it isn't so bad as to warr...

Hey Rob, I, too, have tried topicals such as differin with 0 results. But from what I've heard.. It sounds like using the topical retinoids on your clear, post-accutane skin can help maintain your cle...

What is your age? Sex? Acne severity/location? Do you have acne associated with oily skin? After your first two courses, did you use a maintenance therapy such as a topical retinoid to retain the impr...

Hello EnglishRose, I too am on my 4th sortie of isotretinoin. I am having great success on a low dose maintenance course, complete with little to no side effects. Please see my previous posts for m...

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I'm almost 3 months in. The things that are really killer are the fatigue, irritability, and memory/concentration issues. Its like I am thinking of something but I...

Hey, Both derm's I've seen are private. Costs more obviously but I find it invaluable being able to see him at a drop of a hat.

Hey, Your post was very informative. I went on Roaccutane at the age of 17 after trying everything under the sun, and it seemed to help wonderfully. My skin was beautiful and oil-free for a good two y...

Yes

Sorry to hear of your problem. I've often wondered this myself, but for me I think the reasons for it happening, when it does, seems to be depression rather than the tane. I initially found it diffi...

Hey Emma, You weigh 68.5kg if your weight is 10 stone 11lbs. The recommended dosage by the drug companies for optimum results is 125mg per kg of your weight. So 125 x 68.5 = 8562.5 8562.5 divided b...

Hey Emma, The month long course sounds odd. No dosage will clear you in just 4 weeks. Your latest course sounds about right though. How much do you weigh?? I was presrcibed 80mg for the same amou...

Hey Bradyod, Sorry to hear of your troubles with the GP. As mentioned above, don't hesitate or waste time, go private. GP's know nothing when it comes to this. Your use of the term GP I'm guessing...

Hey there, what eye drops are you using? I found my eyes were a particular issue, sometimes bloodshot, sometimes just dull and even quite yellow when on isotretinoin. I even had some occasions when I ...

Hey Mkyi, I am currently on my 4th course of Isotretinoin and am now pretty much clear. The 4th course however is more a maintenance thing - ive learnt that the only way to keep acne is at bay with ...
