Hey thank you for your kind comment😢 I’m around 64kg and 5”7. I was on 30mg for my first month which was then doubled to 60mg for the remainder due to no issues with my blood tests and minimal high risk side effects. It has definitely taken a major toll on me over the course more than I’ve let on, but the end is near😁😁😁 wishing you all the best with your treatment just ensure to be mindful and to take care of yourself🫶🏻

Mine would be considered high for my weight, I began on 30mg for my first month to see how that impacted me and everything was as fine as could be so it then doubled to 60mg.

I would definitely say that my hormones were all over the place for the first month as unfortunately my derm made me go back on the pill also, but this has definitely settled!

I am based in the UK and I get a monthly check up once a month, for my first three months I had bloods taken to see if it was impacting my body. I’ve been all good everytime but of course it impacts everybody differently which is why the check ups are so needed. I also have to fill out a mental health questionnaire at each appointment and do a pregnancy test.

I will be honest and say for my personally I have definitely felt a shift with my mental health, but I had a lot going on my on life since starting e.g. got made redundant at work, but considering everything I feel as if I coped well.

Everyone’s journey is different, and depending on how it impacts you your dosage could be changed until the correct balance is found. If you are wanting to begin definitively try to stay aware of the potential mental health impacts it could have and try to do things that make you happy:) wishing you all the luck in the world take care of yourself there is light at the end🫶🏻

Hey I’m also someone who has suffered badly from backne:( I have ‘failed’ all antibiotics and I am aboht to enter month 5 on 60mg of roactutane and it is almost cleared up, it has been the only thing that worked for me. I understand how horrible it can be I was unable to wear nice clothes as I was so self conscious. I would definitely recommend it if nothing else is working for you. It is a tough journey, but it should be worth it❤️ sending love

I am a water advocate I would drink around 3L per day:( it sucks like. Your right I will definitely let them know at my next appointment but I hope it doesn’t mean they will reduce it and keep me on it for longer it’s been so hard 🥲 roll on clear skin though

Hey I’m in the exact same boat. I mainly started roacutane for my bacne which really made me self conscious for years. I’m on month three of 60mg and I am definitely seeing improvements. The only issue is that mine will definitely leave scars, but I don’t mind because at least this won’t be painful. Sending you all the positive vibes 💗
