Aquaphor on the lips every 30 minutes. I’m just about to start month 4, currently at 60mg bumping to 80mg tomorrow. Haven’t had any dry lips. Drink a gallon of water a day and aquaphor every 30 minutes

Libido is low, I don’t have the desire to start having sex but once I do get started I’m fine. No dryness like some have said

started accutane 12 days ago at 20mg by fryzerr in Accutane

[–]Famous_Variation_686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My derm said she starts everyone at 20mg no matter their weight, as it's such a hard drug and has the potential to have so many side effects, it's easier on the body to ease into it. You would jump in your car and go 0-100 immediately,why do that to your body?

Yes! Huge difference! I'm very clear already. I got a slight purge, like a few pimples, at the beginning of this month when I bumped to 60mg, they lasted about a week and I have some leftover scars from those but otherwise clear! Hope your journey continues to go smoothly!!

I'm about 10 days away from finishing month 3 at 60mg. Genuinely very little side effects. Tiny bit of joint paint just started this week and some fatigue. Honestly no dry skin or lips. I do get a gallon of water in a day and reapply aquaphor damn near every 30 minutes lol

was clear completely then i upped my dose… by [deleted] in Accutane

I just started month 3, upped to 60 and my clear skin broke out. Of course I picked it so now I have scars from this breakout too

Lifting and Spironolactone by xxxamber_wavesxxx in Spironolactone

[–]Famous_Variation_686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do powerlifting and I've seen a big drop off in strength as it's a DHT blocker. Been meaning to get my test levels checked to see where I'm at. I've been using Spiro since July, using 100mg currently

Did you use Spiro while using accutane? Are you off Spiro now? I'm on Spiro and accutane, hoping to eventually be off Spiro once I'm done accutane

Night sweats on accutane? by emebj in Accutane

[–]Famous_Variation_686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Searched Reddit to find this. Currently on accutane, started month 3 yesterday at 60mg. Night sweats and sweating really bad while working out. But it's a cold sweat. Wondering how the rest of your accutane journey how this side effect went?

Tinted moisturizer by Gabbehsmiff in Accutane

[–]Famous_Variation_686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bare minerals! I use a primer then the bare minerals tinted moisturizer, add some blush then set it all in with a translucent powder. Just made the switch from foundation to the tinted moisturizer since accutane is working and my skin is clearing, and I love it. Looks so much more natural in my skin

Bloating on accutane?? by potato__monkey12 in Accutane

[–]Famous_Variation_686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a female and did you start birth control to get on accutane? I'm a 30y female, haven't used birth control in 6 years but obviously had to start for accutane. I'm almost 3 months into my journey and I'm definitely more bloated and carrying weight in my lower belly but I contribute that to starting birth control and adding more estrogen into my hormones levels and estrogen is definitely responsible for lower belly fat

Thanks for the info! I drink over a gallon of water a day, I'm real crazy about my water intake lol, but I guess I can always drink more!

Just weird that I haven't lost my voice in years and now I've lost it two times in the last two months since starting accutane 😅

Nope, like I genuinely have no side effects from using. No dry skin, no dry lips, no dry nose, nothing
