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?

Here is a review where it helped with acne on the back:

Accutane is one of the best decisions I've made

Please keep us posted how you are doing once you start the medication. I'll be hoping this goes smooth for you and helps with your skin!!

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. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions,comments or suggestions please feel freely.

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!!
