Question About 2Nd Course Of Accutane
JustChill replied to giantfishy's topic in Prescription acne medications
First course cleared me. Then it came back years later, but less severe. 2nd course has me clear again. No different than first course, same side-effects as before, no better no worse -
Do They Check Your Thyroid Levels?
JustChill replied to corichel's topic in Prescription acne medications
Blood tests which check the liver, kidneys, (complete metabolic panel with SGOT, SGPT and T. Bili) along with blood count (CBC with Platelets and Differential), blood fats (Triglycerides), and if you're a woman, a blood pregnancy test called a Serum Quantitiative Beta HCG (this is much more accurate than a urine test early on in a pregnancy) are all performed -
Is Constipation A Side Effect Of Accutane?
JustChill replied to lveen's topic in Prescription acne medications
Increase H2O and fiber as already mentioned. Also look into a probiotic. Bacteria is your friend on this one -
I can all but guarantee you this was the main factor in your friends being approached and not you. Nobody is going to approach someone that is staring at the floor (I know because i've been that person many times). As the guy above me said, girls are the same way too. I get approached 100x more now than when my face wasnt clear. However, i still think that's all on the confidence. My confidence goes as my skin goes. OP, you're hot and you know it. I hope this thread gives you some more re

Sans insurance in Ohio is ~$390/month for 40mg Amnesteem. This includes scrip, monthly visit, and bloodwork. So basically $2400 for a 6 month course. That number is hard to look at. However, money comes and goes, and I would much rather be happy and confident with my appearance

If that is for the office visit and the blood test that is about right. I pay ~$75 for office visit and ~$36 for blood work

You guys are a trip. This isnt a competition to see who has the worst acne. If the OP is upset about his skin he has every right to pursue whatever treatment he wants. Whether it's one pimple or 1000 pimples. It's his choice. His Dr obviously thinks he is fit enough for accutane and if he decides to take it than so be it. There are plenty of people that have taken accutane with great results and zero negative side effects other than dry skin (myself included). I started my second round of

How Long Till Accutane Starts Drying Face?
JustChill replied to hockeybrah's topic in Prescription acne medications
Acne caused way more depression in my life than any pill ever could, for what it's worth -
Seriously my least favorite thing about acutane is the packaging. It's completely unnecessary to have all that cardboard/literature. Then the little tabs never tear right. Then when i pop the pill out it goes flying and i have to spend 5 minutes on the floor trying to find it.

Cold Medicine And Accutane?
JustChill replied to dwight schrute's topic in Prescription acne medications
well, no medicine will help if you really have a virus. other than dulling side effects. but yes, i would say you can do that. if anything, i would just avoid medicine with acetaminophen as the pain reliever. It's metabolized through the liver and your liver doesnt need extra stress right now good luck!
