WORTH IT$100

My brother has always had severe acne, whatever he tried, didn't worked. He was prescribed accutane his Senior year and by graduation he was acne free. His worst side effects were dry skin and lips, but it was so worth it. He looks great and I am so happy for him. I have always had acne also but not nearly as bad, but recently, I have been getting it worse and worse. It is now my senior year in High School and I am going to be starting on it shortly.

That is great that you were able to see firsthand what Accutane can do. How are you feeling about starting it up?

I can understand why you would feel a bit scared. The list of possible side effects is kind of frightening, but my goodness, for the people Accutane works for it really seems to make a huge positive change for them, like your brother. If you do get put on it, just be sure to listen to your body and talk to your doctor about anything you notice that concerns you.

Keep us posted on what goes on at your appointment!!

yeah I for sure will, I will probably start on a lower dosage and see if that does the job without getting any bad side effects. I'm counting down the days to get started on it, i'm really excited and will keep you updated with what goes on!

I'm starting it on february 4th!! I'm a sophomore in high school, and I don't have awful acne but I've had a little worse than moderate for years, I'm just ready for it to be gone :) I'm really nervous, can you keep me updated on what goes on? the side effects list & that booklet about it were huge! :/ goodluck! xo

I went to the doctor and I had to wait the 30 days for the blood work and pregnancy tests and everything so now my official start date is February 4th too! that's kind of ironic that we are starting the same day. I also have moderate acne and it seems to be on an off a lot. I think the bad part is that it has been here for years and it's starting to leave pretty bad scars and stuff. I am counting down the days until I start and I think we should keep in touch on our progress (:

Ah no way!! I completely agree, I'm nervous and excited to start but I'm sooo ready for the end result. My scars are not visible when I wear coverup but sometimes my acne is visible even with some foundation. I definitely think we should keep in touch and share what's going on! I can give you my email or my facebook or something and we can message eachother, whatever works! xo

My daughter has been taking Accutane for 6 months now and her skin is FLAWLESS!!! She is so happy! She has been complaining of back pain, but she is going to a chiropractor and getting adjusted regularly, which seems to help. At first her lips were terribly chapped! But I bought some really good chap stick and now she is fine. She is tired, but she is also a teenager, so that may come in to play. She would not wear tank tops last summer bc her skin was so broke out. Now I am planning my wedding and she is only looking at strapless dresses! This has boosted her confidence and I am thankful she was able to take this medicine!

So, after a long and annoying process, i have started Accutane! i took my first pill february 4th and have been on it now for about a week a half. All is good! I haven't had terrible side effects. (aquaphor=solves everything). I have gotten new acne but not a terrible breakout. I'm really excited for a month or two from now! I'm praying for the best.
