I start in a 40 mg dose on Monday. I have been suffering with severe acne since u was 10. Yes 10,fifth grade. It's been a nightmare. I'm 32 now and just want it to be over already.

Doubtful because nothing has ever cleared my skin completely. Hopeful because like I said, I just want it gone now.!!!! And also because of the great reviews I've sen/heard.

P.S. I never hear anyone say that's It's cleared acne on the chest or back. Does anyone know if it dies?

it's been a few weeks since i've had a chance to update.I am not eve sure the exact week i'm on but i'm in month two and my skin looks AMAZING!!! I've been waiting on the major breakout i keep hearing i'll experience at some point during treatment. waiting but not looking forward to. My doctor was suppose to increase my dosage for month two however there was a problem with my blood work. I am really trying to upload pictures because i really want everyone to see how well my skin is reacting. maybe i just can't upload from my phone.
Thanks for reading if you have!!

Great review?

Today marks the ending of my first week on accutane. I only had 3 micro pimples. Two on my chin and one my nose,which were so small i didn't think they are even worth mentioning howerver, there it is anyway. I haven't had any dry skin or lips YET either but it's only been a week so fingers crossed. Headace wa mild and considering that i suffer with migarens often they really didn't bother me. and again i already get them so i'm not even sure if they can be associated with the accutane. Last night i notice a little pain in legs and my eyes were a little senative to the glare of the tv's screen. So yeah ,Nothing major so far. But no no breakouts either so hurray for that. I am trying to upload some pics but i i'll try again later. So here is what i'm taking ; Absorica 40 Mg once a day. I'm also taking prednisne which i should add is porbly why i haven't had any new brekouts this week. I only have two days left with this medication so i'm a bit afraid of what will happen once i;m done. I was and lotion with the cerve and cerve AM and PM.
