DAY 25: Yay I'm already at day 25! Time is flying by. Thank god for that. Everything is going pretty good so far. The side effects aren't too bad. I go in for my monthly blood test in a couple of da...

Day 13, 14, 15 - Not much change yet. Still have really dry lips and my back gets sore from almost anything... Hoping to see some change in acne soon. Did I avoid the inital breakout all together? &n...

Yes. I posted a new picture today. The others are from last month or even earlier.   hey i saw your pics and i just wanted to say that you are beautiful! but i know how much having acne can bri...

helllllllllo? is anybody out there?

helllllo. you are 1 day behind me so i will definitley be reading your log and keeping up with you. if you are looking for a good gentle facewash to use while taking accutane i reccomend Cetaphil...

Try st.ives apricot scrub. I used it everyday and it keeps my pores clean and clear. Im 99.9% clear with that.   i also really like St. Ives apricot scrub. i've been using that daily for about ...

DAYS 8, 9 & 10: wooooo i'm already in the double digits. yay. i guess that's something worth getting excited about. day 8...honestly i don't remember what happened on day 8 so i assume nothin...

Hey, good luck with your 2nd course!! Im on my first, 3 weeks in. So far so good. I use that Cetaphil face wash too, really like it, seems to be quite popular among accutane users! x   thank yo...

hiiiiii fellow Cali accutane user.

Sadly for me I have to see my doctor first and then have him refer me to a dermatologist since it has been more than a year since I got off of it   ugh i'm sorry. i had to do the same thing a ...

and honestly let me tell you, POSITIVE thinking HELPS. I was never sitting around worrying about this or that or what if, I was living my life taking the medicine, having a drink here and there and no...

just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. first of all NOOOOO, whatever you do, do not get any sort of laser treatments done until after you've been off accutane for AT LEAST 6 months. it will seriously mes...

Taylor, did your acne return to what it was like before you were on Accutane? That's unusual that your dosage would be increased, then decreased. My dermatologist told me I'm staying at 40 milligrams ...

Day 40 Well it got worse for a few days.. So embarrassing. I went bowling with some friends and was eating nachos and my guy friend said hey hold on and got a napkin and tried to wipe something off of...

Good luck with your Accutane treament. Hopefully tour current breakout is your initial breakout and then you can hopefully start to clear up quickly. Is your profile picture quoting the Eli Young Band...

helllllo. i am in the same boat as you. i took my first course of accutane back in 2009 and i was clear until this past June when my acne returned, not as bad as i used to have it, but enough to make ...

7 months? Do you remember what MG you were on?   not exactly. i believe i was on 40 for a few months. then 60 for a few and my last month was 30. something like that.

the journey is worth it, trust me! i discovered acne.org towards the end of 2008 when my acne was out of control bad. after researching accutane on this site, i went to a new derm and got on it in j...

i'm gonna speak from personal experience here...i took accutane for about 7 months back in 2009 and i drank while on accutane. not allllll the time, but i would say about once or twice a month i would...

make sure you are drinking lots and lots of water. i know it can get annoying at times, but honestly, water will lessen the severity of a lot of the sucky accutane side effects. the more water you dri...

i mainly used blistex the dark blue medicated one, and carmex howeverrrrr my lips got SO bad i started putting actual polysporin on them LOL   i've been using the dark blue medicated Blistex on...
