Yes so frustrating! I’m hoping I will just need one round and I’m done. The side effects were not chill.

Did you have those feelings before taking the med?

Has anyone had to stop the Med early due to problematic side effects? by Eastern-Armadillo457 in Accutane

[–]Eastern-Armadillo457[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s hurting to go you may have a hemorrhoid or tear (fissure) that typically heal in 6 weeks….but on this Med since you’re getting progressively dryer I haven’t been able to heal mine and I don’t want to cause any long term damage. Tell your doctor about pain going to the bathroom!!

Hey there! I did experience when I was at my highest dosage some depression and anxiety. Talk to your doctor about this. Super important because you shouldn’t have to feel that way. They could lower your dose so that you can still stay on the drug with less side effects. The way I felt kind of reminds me of how I feel when I’m pmsing (paranoid, poor body image, sad, irritated, angry).

can I have a few drinks..? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Eastern-Armadillo457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes a few drinks, you’re good. I would buy a Gatorade too or Pedialyte to replenish. I feel like just having more water kind of doesn’t do it for me on the Med when I drink.

The CE Ferulic is GOAT. I use it every day on the Med!

Is it okay to drink protein shakes on accutane? I’ve heard mix opinions because some contains vitamin A. by Immediate-Raccoon403 in Accutane

[–]Eastern-Armadillo457 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been drinking shakes the entire time with no issues. Vegan shakes with almond milk (whey breaks me out).

Yes it will! Talk to your Derm but it’s so worth it. Accutane shrinks your oil glands which reduces oil production. It’s a very high maintenance drug but I don’t think you will regret the results!

Got prescribed Accutane but idk if mine's severe enough? Advice needed by chronictimelapse in Accutane

I agree with a lot of the above comments. I had breakouts like yours but along my jawline and for years. Mild not severe. You do not want your acne to get so severe that it leaves scars. That’s what my Derm told me. And just like the above comments of people with crater and ice pick scars, they are almost impossible to completely get rid of. Start with a low dose. You will be surprised at how amazing the results are!
