none of us here are doctors but I would personally say go for it if your doctor reccomends it.

I have cystic acne, very much worse than hers, and I also have been on around 7 rounds of antibiotics, and countless topicals. As you say, nothing really worked for longer than a month, and for cystic...

  Its going very well. A month in at 80mgs, my first blood test was perfect. The first week was crazy while my body adapted but after the 2 week i've only been experiencing dryness and I have bee...

interesting, so some people really do take care of it longterm w/ antibiotics? cystic that is

Ya, for me personally I don't feel too much different. I think I'm more irritatable possibly because I get pissed when I drive more than usual lol, but I think some of the hype is because a politician...

Good to hear it worked out for you, just something to consider though.   You might feel silly if you go through a whole course of accutane when all you needed to do was get on birth control. &...

yes and yes, but what I'm confused about is how a doctor directly benefits from prescribing me crap that won't actually work? I mean the money from the drugs will go directly to the pharmaceutical com...

When I was in high school I went to a doctor to fix my skin issues. I had cystic acne, and he prescribed me antibiotics. Antibiotics obviously aren't powerful enough to cure cystic acne. The best it c...

I have red bumps and raised dry patches on my upper arms, right on my giant powerful bulging biceps. I just put some lotion on that shit and it goes away.

yes, I have been on it for like 10 weeks and I'm healing now but still breaking out as well. I have heard that it usually stays the same or gets worse for the first 2 months, heals mostly in months 3 ...

LeftRiding and someonegood12   Are either of you still taking antibiotics? At the moment no, I am on accutane though. Starting tomorrow I am getting back on bactrim, my Derm said I have a ba...

I would say its gotten a little better, I still am pretty confident that I look worse than whan I started because all that acne I got when I started just turned red and flat and is chillin. I keep get...

I am on 80mg a day at 75kilos. I have been noticing many side effects since day one and I want to discuss here before with my derm. I normally can do like 60 pushups pre-tane or so and the other day I...

For me my acne always came back worse than I started with after a course of antibiotics. Didnt take more than maybe 2 weeks before it was back full blown. Frusterating that all these doctors ever did ...

Id be interested to see if you get really tired... I started getting fatigued even into my first week.

hey I remember you! yea we started like the same day taking the accutane. Did you get your dose changed? I am finding the same thing is happening to me, and in the same areas.   This would be a ...

im 170 pounds and started at 40mg first month, now im at 80mg. I believe the reccomended dose tops off at 1.3mg/kg? That sounds a leztle high to me. I believe you should call your dermatlogist and ask...

On my second month, at 60mg/day at 76kilos. About to be at 80mg/day within a week. I feel like there is something I could be putting on my face at night to help heal the wounds, for obvious reasons no...

I started taking monocycline like 5 years ago, for 3 months. I took that with Retin A, and BP. it eventually worked and I was clear. After my prescription ran out my acne came back, worse than initial...

This is a good place to get advice but it would be an even better idea to call a dermatologist in a different state. I think that if you called around and told them about your predicament someone woul...

as do I, but chances are those scars that you are seeing it did not appear out of thin air, these were most likely things that were part of your skin that were not visible before. Remember why you sta...

ya man you look good, i had the same problem steppin out of the shower because the hot water and the irritation from rubbing it makes it all look worse, just don't look in the mirror after showers.......

thats wise of you to learn about the drug yourself and be involved in your own treatment...   I agree I would expect that dosage to be doubled over the long term. But, we did not go to medical s...

just remember why you started accutane in the first place. my face is a mess as well and i also dont leave the house as much as i would otherwise, but I waged war against acne, and I will be damned if...
