My story is just like everyone here who suffer from acne. I ve tried everything over the counter, tv commercial, prescriptions but nothing s working. I tried bc so many brands yaz, Yasmin, Diane but nothing has worked like it used to. I used to take Diane and it likes magic. My acne clear within a week and my skin look better than ever. I ve been taking it for about a year then I switched to Yasmin cos Diane makes me gain so much weight. Well, Yasmin is great to control acne but it s not like Diane. So after taking Yasmin about 6 months I stopped bc because I always forgot to take it. Wrong moved, my acne came back worst than ever. I forgot to mention that I m from Thailand. So that time I was gonna go visit my parent in Thailand then I designed I was just gonna go see dermatologist in Thailand. So I d been there for about 2 months and my skin s completely clear. I came back to US with clear skin. But then after I had A child and now she s almost 2 the acne came back since April. So I made appointment with dermatologist here and went thru 6 or 7 prescriptions but nothing has cleared my skin. Then I switched dermatologist to the one closer to my house and requested for accutane. He agreed to put me on accutane. So I'll be starting accutane today(hopefully) after waiting for 2 months. I suppose to start accutane last month but dr. Office screw up(she didn't register me on ipledge). So I have to start over after been waiting for a month. Another month of waiting So here we go 2 months passed, i went in to the office this morning, came back home took the comprehensive questions on ipledge. Now I'm just waiting for the prescription to be ready so I can go pick it up. Hopefully I'll get my accutane soon.

My acnes are mostly close comedones. When you have foundation on you ll see all the dots come out. I also tried retin A before but nothing works.

I ve been getting new pimples everyday since the second day I took the pill. I got headache twice since I started.
I m also experiencing hair loss but It said online that it only happens with high dose. I'm only taking 40 mg a day which concerns me. I don't want my dermatologist to lower the dosage. :-(
