- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Week 8 :)
A lot of people say my skin approved but if you ask me, there is still a long way to go. At least my acnes stopped growing?
I was on 30mg for he first 6 weeks and because of all the severe side effects I am now taking 20mg.
My lips are not as dry, head not hurting as much and no more mood swings.
I have to admit through when my skin was terribly dry taking 30mg I noticed my skin was smoother. However I chose to lower my dosage and taking it longer.

Week 3.5!
Can't believe I'm taking this medicine for 3.5 weeks.
I'm on 30mg now and it is affecting my mood so much. I broke down the other day due to stress. Nothing new in my life recently.. Busy as usual but this pill probably triggered me to feel a lot more stressed out.
It is also giving me severe dryness. I changed 3 lip balm brands and they are not really working. I will speak to my doctor about all these side effects and perhaps ask him if I should take 20mg going forward instead.
I took some pictures on the severe part of my face. Other than that, my face looks clean.

2nd week - DRY!!!!
This is my second week taking Oratane/Accutane and so far I feel no change except dryness...
My lips are super duper dry, the skin of my lips are peeling and sometimes they bleed.
I started taking my first dose of 30mg today as told by my Dr. I hope the dryness won't get any worse :(
I have been constantly drinking water but I feel dehydrated all the time.
Skin wise, friends say my skin is growing less pimples but yesterday I realized my skin is a bit too dry. It is not moisturized enough and if you touch the skin of my face, you feel big bumps here and there. Yup, that means the pimples are clogged and they are not coming out. What should I do?!!
From the pictures I took just now you could only see white heads and acnes.
