11 months post update
So it's been 11 months since completing accutane and my acne is coming back:( first it was tiny little zits which didn't bother me as much now it's huge painful ones that take weeks to heal. I've also been diagnosed with GERD. Before taking accutane I've never had stomach problems in my life! Please if your reading this don't take accutane, it's not worth it, I feel more depressed now and pissed off I made this terrible decision to take this medicine. Guess I'm stuck with shitty skin for the rest of my damn life. Accutane was a waste of my time and health!
7th month update
I finally completed 7 months of accutane a week ago , I still get a small zit maybe every 2 weeks which scares the [RS bleep] out of me, does that mean my dreadful acne will come back??? Did I do this for nothing? So far the only side effects I had this last month is dry scalp and eyes. No more joint pain, headaches, bloody nose, dry lips. I feel very depressed though but then again I wasn't a very happy person before accutane cuz of the emotional and physical scarring my [RS bleep] acne battle left me with. Now I have fears of acne coming back like other reviews I read there acne came back:( I wish I could just move on w my life and not think about this [RS bleep], just wanna put this nightmare behind me and move on. Good luck to u all on your accutane journey.
Month 6 on accutane
I'm 2 days in on month 6 of accutane ,I was happy with how my skin was improving till about a week ago. I woke up with a hard red lump by my nose and it just won't come to a head and go away. My derm said its a cyst . I'm shocked and disappointed because I never had one of these before. I got two months left of accutane . This scares me, why am I getting this monster zit this far along???? The side effects I've been having is joint pain, dry lips, pain shooting down my right leg to the point where I feel like I can't move, that happened twice, my tail bone really hurts. Wonder if anybody experience this side effect, dry eyes and nose bleeds are gone. Still got eczema on hands and now under my nose and mouth, the eczema gets so enflamed at night around my nose after taking makeup off . Also I get so tired easily , don't exercise anymore, I gained 7 pounds in 6 months, this sucks:( I'm so ready to be done with accutane
