Day 61-79 - Haven't posted in while, whoops. Got caught up with classes and work and what not. Well, I'm still on the 40mg (obviously) and I don't suspect I'll be moving up next month... my acne hasn'...

Hun, i'm about 2 weeks ahead of you and going through my IB which has caused red marks galore and i still have active acne. It sucks but you have to stay and think positive. I avoid mirrors as much ...

Nope, no pictures. I don't think I'll post any sorry... more so I'm too lazy than self-conscious Day 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 - Blah. That describes my mood right now. I just want this ugly, ...

Day 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52 - Derm appointment today... she bumped me up to 40MG! Very happy... it's about time. She said I'll be on this 'til March and she said my acne should be completely gone (...

Day 42, 43, 44, 45 - Back, chest, and neck all clearing up pretty well surprisingly. Inital breakout on my face seems to be continuing to die down... Derm appointment exactly one week from today, prob...

Day 39, 40, 41 - Back and chest seem to have cleared up quite a bit, I only get a slight pain in my back instead of the overwheling feeling I used to get, my inital breakout seems to be dying out, and...

Thanks for the post. Yeah... I think I'd rather take a high dose and just get it over with. Day 36, 37, 38 - Well, I'm getting more mad than anything. I want my stupid initial breakout to go away; h...

Day 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 - Blargggghhh. Derm said I would be sticking on 30mg for December, a little sad but yet thankful; sad because I want a higher dose to get the crap out of my skin, happy ...

Day 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 - Still not much change... Same old dry lips, sore back/neck, and dry skin around the nose and mouth. Derm appointment tomorrow, so we'll see what she says.

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...

Day 21, 22 - Still not much change... Going to the derm in one week.

Day 19, 20 - Well, lips don't seem as sore/dry anymore... I haven't put any chap stick on them all day today and they are fine. Odd. Back and neck still get sore for doing basic things like stretchi...

Day 17, 18 - Back still gets sore from almost anything; neck sometimes. Lips are still dry but I'm getting used to them so I don't notice them as much. Skin is starting to dry up... clear up a bit. ...

Day 16 - God these dry lips are annoying... Grr! It's my worst side effect *knock on wood* (I know, nothing to complain about - be greatful) and my chap stick looks like lip gloss which is slightly aw...

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?

Hey! Found your log haha. Just wanted to drop by and say goodluck and I look forward to your future updates .

Just my p.o.v, I wouldn't overdo the exercise on accutane! It says on my leaflet that too much strenuous exercise can cause arthritis, it's probably on your leaflet you got with the drug but just in c...

Thanks guys - I really appreciate your support! Day 10 & 11 - Still have very dry lips; it's to the point now where if I don't have chap stick on them 24/7 they start to become really sore. My...

Day 9 - Holy moley. Definitely changes today.. Lips are even more sore and dry! I think they'll start to crack soon... and the cold weather is starting to come, great... I am seeing some new pimpl...

Day 8 - Again, nothing new except the continouation of the dry/sore lips. Hoping to see some skin signs soon...

Thanks! Day 7 - No new changes; lips are still dry and somewhat sore.

Day 6 - Lips are noticeably drier and more sore. Spoke too soon.

Yeah, I'm happy that nothing horrible has happened. At least I'm not allergic to it. Day 5 - No change. 30mg may be too low a dose.

Day 4 - Still nothing happening. Honestly thought I would see something by now.

Day 3 - Still nothing to report.
