don't worry about it. i was on kflex (for acne) before i started accutane and my dr. had me continue taking keflex for the first two months of treatment. then i was on keflex again during my treatment to prevent an infection from a puncture wound. it's fine you can take it while on accutane.

you might get a couple zits the first week, they will clear up. you don't really need to do anything after accutane to treat acne.

no, it is not to high. it is normal. i was on 60mg/day from the beginning. (well actually 40/80 on alternate days.)

why would accutane have any affect on your job? i was a full time college student, worked part time at a coffee bar. and had rehearsals for a play i was in while on accutane. it shouldn't be a problem. the only problem was nose bleeds. i had a really bad nosebleed in class one day, and one at work.

just take it with milk. or better yet, a meal and milk. you don't have to eat any extra fat, whatever meal you have should be fine.

no, that is not how retin-a works.

Doctor prescribed me Tetracyline..when I was 13

one of the assistants at my derms office told me to stop the antibiotics when i first started accutane. the derm had just told me to continue them, i would listen to what the doctor says, as she is the one prescribing your treatment. -
let face dry by itself instead of patting with a towel?
JR86 replied to BoAFaN's topic in The Acne.org Regimen
pat it with a towel, then moisturize. letting it dry will dry out your skin. -
I wouldnt be so sure, I know its not the same drug but a couple of months back I changed the brand of my Vitamin B5 powder (both brands were 100% b5) and I got a really bad breakout from changing. In fact I got what seemed like an initial breakout again and it was as if I had reverted to when I had first started taking B5 (although the time span was compacted big time) B5 is a "suppliment" not a drug, it is not regulated by the FDA. you could have gotten anything. isotretinoin is a

I got prescribed Accutane - not sure if I'm gonna take it
JR86 replied to Jay4444's topic in Prescription acne medications
really, the side effects are not that big of a deal. you will probably get a lot of dryness though. the dryness goes away after you stop accutane. i was kind of nervous before taking the first pill, but after that it's not a problem, i didn't even think about it. i just popped the pills. -
don't know what to drink... ( i hate water )
JR86 replied to Da Real BucK's topic in Diet & holistic health
Have they even proven this whole splenda stuff? I really don't think anything sweetened with splenda would do the damage to me that so many people claim. And real sugar is a million times worse. I just don't get all this artificial sugar warning, not just you, but like you said-- internet info and such. I personally think it's a bunch of b.s... no they haven't. it's really not bad for you, some people get paranoid about it for some reason though. -
do you think my doctor will prescribe accutane?
JR86 replied to mboona's topic in Prescription acne medications
chances are, if you take accutane you will never have a cyst again.
