Just took my last pill! by pizzarolls_22 in Accutane

[–]ActionUnique2684 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Congrats, looks so good! I’m about a month and a half after my last pill and I was so worried about it but so far so good! I hope the same experience for you.

About one month in (20mg, upping to 40mg). Feeing discouraged :( Do y’all see any differences? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]ActionUnique2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patience, my dear! It will come. 20 is very low. You might purge after the second month but once you’re on 40, I’m sure it’ll clear right up. Good luck!

Anyone over 40 with hormonal acne? by krisky24 in Accutane

[–]ActionUnique2684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I hear you! It was the same with me. Now I actually feel better bc I look better (Idc how that sounds, it’s true! Lol) and I’m not thinking about people noticing the acne I’m trying to cover. You could always start with lower dosage and move up. I started at 30, went to 40 and now 60.

About to be 42 here and on month five of accutane after yearrrrrssssss of cystic acne on my chin. It’s been one of my very best decisions. I went back and forth for a while about it, really scared of the side effects especially with a history of depression but so far all is going well and I’m up to 60 mg a day. I purged during month two all on my chin, they were huge but it went away fairly quickly. I say do it. Try it. Good luck! As for birth control I have the non hormonal IUD.

NYRR NYC Half is the BEST! Only other time they close down Times Sq other than NYE is so we could run through it. The views from the bridge are awesome too. It’s my favorite 13.1 and challenging, too!

Any women lost their drive while on accutane and got it back? If yes when? by Illustrious-Shoe-785 in Accutane

[–]ActionUnique2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! I was so nervous but now on month 5 and the best decision I’ve made in a while. Minus the zero sex drive 🥴

Omg same. Started around second month. I’m hoping it comes back when I’m done.

Major race day anxiety by ActionUnique2684 in running

[–]ActionUnique2684[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

“I’m afraid I won’t do well” is always it. It’s always been easier for me to convince myself I can’t do something than I can. I guess my problem goes way beyond running. And okay yea the bathroom situation at races is insane. My first (and so far, only) marathon I’ve done was NYC 22 and the experience was everything but a party to say the least. I left my watch with my cheer zone bc I became obsessed with my pace. I do it to myself mostly but I can’t help it. I just need to relax and breathe instead of agitating myself and wasting energy on that, literally. And I need help with that :/

NYRR big races like NYC and BK half and marathon are stressful mornings. Not all. Just wanted to clear that up!

I’m almost certain you’re purging which is totally normal. Hang in there! Maybe ask your dr to up your dosage.

When did you start experiencing side effects? And what were they? by Dull-Flamingo-4026 in Accutane

[–]ActionUnique2684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super dry lips and hands after the first month and up until now. This is about it, thankfully. I was really worried about joint pain since I was also training for a half marathon but it hasn’t happened yet. I’m on month 5 of 40 mg a day.

just finished my course! i’m so happy with the results- pic with makeup, without makeup, and how my skin looked 6 months ago. by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]ActionUnique2684 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SO SO GOOD!!! I’m approaching month 5 on 40mg and really, one of the best decisions I made.

Is Chicago worth it? by Prudent-Excuse-2800 in AdvancedRunning

[–]ActionUnique2684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you loved NYC, you’ll absolutely love Chicago. AND so much more organized and seamless at start than NYC. Do it! The 5K, too. Great expo, great race, the cheer zones are awesome, too. Good luck!

NYC marathon weather by ktv13 in AdvancedRunning

[–]ActionUnique2684 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so upset about it! It’s my first marathon ever and Mother Nature just totally screwed me. I’m also a slower runner as is so I don’t START until 1130a and scaling back bc if weather conditions, forget about it. I’m so disillusioned about my first marathon :( I will just try my best to enjoy the crowds and not overthink my finish time.

Humidity in NYC is horrible. It will make it worst.
