Hey Sminman, so im finishing up my last 2 weeks of Accutane, not nearly as many pop ups, but im red and some scaring is still there, overall its just blotchy. Will all this start to fade when Im off of it, if so, how long? The drug wasnt that bad but I really hope everything just fades and goes away when Im off of it. let me know some tips and pointers or what happend to people when they got off of it, i would hate to have it come back, I took the drug to be done with it
I glad to hear the accutane worked so well for you. Don’t worry too much about your hair. My son had to take accutane TWICE, his doc at Sick Kids in TO said it was the worst case he’d ever seen. This was 15 years ago and he is now 32 and has dreads down to his knees.
yeah the exact same thing is happening to me…i’ve just finished my 3rd month and i’ve noticed improvements but i still think there’s a lot more to be accomplished. Since your comment is over 3 months old, and since we share some of the same phases, i was wondering how the rest of your treatment went? Anyway, I’m hoping to make a video about my accutane experience as soon as I am done with my course. Thanks!
Hey, I finished up my treatment in 5 months actually. A few weeks after I made that post my face got totally clear, and my doctor said I could finish then because my acne was under control. My face was clear pretty much until I finished it. I’ve been off it a few months now, about two, and for the 1st month my face was totally clear, but now I have some of it back again, it seems to come and go in stages, but it’s not nearly as bad as it was before. – Sorry I didn’t notice your comment til now!
hey bro..when you break out on accutane..do you break out just on the places you normaly would?..or could it make you break out on the place you have no acne at all?..thanks ide appreciate the help
I weigh 150 pounds and my dermatologist has me on 80 mgs. a day. 40 mgs in the morning and 40 mgs in the evening. He said that’s a pretty standard dosage if you want to get rid of the acne for good. I will have to have the monthly blood tests of course. No birth control pills for me though, you just sign a paper saying you will not have sex. I’m more interested in clearing my moderate, but persistant acne. I will not drink alcohol while on Accutane, it’s too risky.
Hey man. Thanks for your vids. It’s real and encouraging:) I don’t have severe acne, but my moderate problem gets to me like you wouldn’t believe. I used accutane and after a few months, my face inflamed 10-fold (very red and hyper sensitive). I developed severe depression to find I already had a genetic disposition for it, so my parents took me off of it. I feel it did actually help my skin after discontinuation, but my acne still bothers me evryday. Do ya think i should go back on it??
haha, this makes no sense, when you yawk you can tear up, when something comes in your eye they tear up, when you laugh alot u can tear up, when you sneeze you tear up, when you eat spicy food u tear up. pretty bad assumption. In most cases I think the depression is already there when someone takes accutane then when their face gets all crusty from it they get even more depressed, most people starting accutane are not the happiest bunch
I’ve only been doing 20mg and just started 40 today. I wake up in the morning and my lungs and nose are so damn dry. My lips are feelin’ pretty chappy too. I just don’t like the fact that it sucks the liquids right outta’ ya. Every cell in our body is composed of water and needed to function. Can’t be that great for ya but all I know is that if it works, great. Just hate that it takes months… Damn…

yoo man how much did you drink?? u think its ok with 5-6beers?
yeah, sometimes more if I were at a party with all my friends.
I had no idea that it was considered bad to drink while on accutane but they said it was.
I think I’m doing fine right now but I would take a little easier if you are on Accutane.
does your hair grow back after stopping the medication?
I glad to hear the accutane worked so well for you. Don’t worry too much about your hair. My son had to take accutane TWICE, his doc at Sick Kids in TO said it was the worst case he’d ever seen. This was 15 years ago and he is now 32 and has dreads down to his knees.
Hey man how bad was your depression I know you said mild but did u not hang out with your friends as much or what did it do?
yeah the exact same thing is happening to me…i’ve just finished my 3rd month and i’ve noticed improvements but i still think there’s a lot more to be accomplished. Since your comment is over 3 months old, and since we share some of the same phases, i was wondering how the rest of your treatment went?

so how long was that period of time where your face was 10 times worse?

i’m breaking out in places i never do. like my forehead, neck, and jawline.
how severe was your hair loss?
I weigh 150 pounds and my dermatologist has me on 80 mgs. a day. 40 mgs in the morning and 40 mgs in the evening. He said that’s a pretty standard dosage if you want to get rid of the acne for good.

oh ok, thanks for this vid. i didn’t see it before and i had asked you about when your face started to clear up on your previous vid.
Is there anything else you took with the Accutane?!
Hey man. Thanks for your vids. It’s real and encouraging:) I don’t have severe acne, but my moderate problem gets to me like you wouldn’t believe.
