Week 23: No pimples anywhere. Feeling good. Only 18 or so days left of accutane! Exact same as last week.

Week 22 I took 100mg for 4 days, and I was feeling miserable. So I cut down to 80mg. So far, no change, everything is clear. I've been having to drink a ton more water, and my skin is dry. So I've bee...

Week 19/20/21 So, I went to japan for almost 3 weeks. For week 1, I stayed at my regular dose of 100mg. But in the last 2 days, my nose got a sun burn. This was super annoying, and I was only in the s...

Week 9 (Day 64) I just took my 30mg and 40mg pill, and today marks day 64. Holy it's been a long time. I visited my GP 4 days ago, and she thinks I may have to be on the drug for 6 months. This came a...

Pre: I've had acne issues for a long time, ever since past puberty. It went here and there but it started getting really consistent and somewhat cystic around winter 2014. My skin was looking awful. ...

Hi, so this topic will go through my accutane journey. I'm having a hard time getting through this. Acne really sucks, and not being able to control it sucks even more. So, I felt like by recording do...
