WORTH IT
It's been four months and my face is still clear. I have had a few issues with the hormones settling back down - I had some major bouts of sweating even while the air conditioning was going full blast. But overall, I'll gladly take a bit of sweating if I get to keep this cleared up skin! I've had a few small breakouts, but only during my menstrual cycle. The breakouts have literally been one or two small zits, the white heads about the size of a pin head, and have all gone away within a few days so I really can't complain considering what I dealt with prior to this drug.

It's been a month since I stopped taking the drug and I'm still acne free (not even a small one popped up during my overly hormonal time of the month - if you're a girl, you'd understand). Couldn't be happier!

By the last three months, I was up to 60mg pills twice a day, not 40mg twice a day. :)

Amazing story- I can't imagine how great it felt when the esthetician said that to you. Keep us posted in the updates as to whether or not your skin stays so clear.

Good to read that your skin had improved so much. May I know the cost of accutane?

For me, I currently am double covered insurance wise (still able to be on my dad's plan and I also have my own plan through my work) and with the double coverage, I pay nothing for any prescription medicines. I have Kaiser through both insurances. The doctor I used at Kaiser said that accutane is covered under insurance so whatever copay you usually pay for your prescriptions is what the cost would be - I was fortunate enough that both insurances I'm on covered the full cost so I paid nothing (well, nothing except for my monthly insurance coverage through my work :))
