Accutane the 2nd time, but again a low dose...?
ExodusE replied to ExodusE's topic in Prescription acne medications
I have no problem with taking it with food, it's just that the first course that I did, I didn't take it all the time, which might be the reason I relapsed. I take RoAccutane. -
I was on Accutane for 8 months. First month - 20mg and the rest was 40mg. A year later my acne is back and way worse. I did do the mistake of not taking it with food every time. Mostly I did, but no one warned me about it. My face cleared to 90% when I stopped the course, so I never was really clear. Now my face is WAY worse. Anyway... I just started my 2nd Accutane course, but it's going to be only 20mg the first month and maybe 40mg later. I am worried that it is too low, s

Acne after low dose Accutane. Worth to go on 2nd course?
ExodusE replied to ExodusE's topic in Prescription acne medications
That is all good, but how do I convince my doctor to extend the course like that? Or should I just order some Accutane online? -
Acne after low dose Accutane. Worth to go on 2nd course?
ExodusE replied to ExodusE's topic in Prescription acne medications
your course should have continued until you were completely cleared. and then once you are completely clear for at least a full month, you get left on the drug for an additional 3-4 months and you get taken off! Your derm did not follow that protocol so that is most likely why you relapsed. So, let's say I hop back on Accutane. Once I am done with the 5-6 months, I should do additional 3-4 months right after once I am clear? -
Hey, I am a 185lbs male that was on Accutane for 8 months. First month it was 20mg, then it got bumped up to 40mg. My acne got reduced, but I still got breakouts while on the course. Only on the 7th month I had an 90% clear skin. I still had small pimples, but they didn't bother me. A year later, my face is the same it was before if not worse. I think I was on a low dose for my weight. Would it be a good idea to go on a higher dose? I wouldn't go on Accutane, but I've tried almost everythin

Acne Free just by drinking COFFEE!!! ITS 100 PERCENT TRUE
ExodusE replied to megannicole123's topic in Diet & holistic health
People that have stress or anxiety should not drink coffee, though. Personally, I have anxiety and if I drink a lot of coffee, it only enhances my anxiety, thus, break me out the next day. -
I weigh the same and I had 40mg per day as well, although my first month was 20mg. The course lasted 8 months and my acne is back. I am convinced that this is not enough of a dosage for our weight, because a lot of people are on higher doses that weigh same as us. You should talk to dermatologist and maybe suggest going higher on the dose. That is what I will do.

After 8 years of doing all these stupid face creams, I did Accutane. I thought this will finally be it. I did 8 months and 40mg a day. Acne came back after a few months and it gets really bad when I eat junk food, dairy or sugar. I honestly was severely depressed and did not want to go outside (and I still kind of don't want to), but I got myself together and decided to continue looking for solutions. Since Accutane had a lot of Vitamin A in it, I have decided that I will eat 2-3 carrots a da

Hey, I just finished an 8 month course of Accutane 40mg. I am a man, 20 years old. I am pretty worried, because even at my last month, I would occasionally get pimples. I strongly believe that this was because I ate junk food or too much cheese. I am about 1 week off of Accutane now and I have a few small pimples that I am not worried about, but I got a medium-sized one on my cheek this morning. Is it because Accutane didn't work or is it because I drink milk a bit and eat gluten? I try to ke
