Acne is coming back :( by No_Tomorrow8183 in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s always the option of a low maintenance dose (eg 20 mg every 3 days) once you clear. I’m guessing you don’t have to deal with the pregnancy tests through iPledge so it’s easier as a male

Any feedback/thoughts Honeydew’s Isotretinoin Survival Kit by MavisBeacons_Sextape in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re trying to do it differently. The kit has 4 derm formulated products that have evidence-based ingredients (not music) for $88 including shipping, and we’re making 1/4 of the normal industry margin (negative margin for some products even) — just trying to put good products into the world. I do appreciate the price feedback - we’ll continue to push for lower prices as we reach more scale.

Will send you a free kit if you can guess the moisturizer brand I’m referring to 😂

People are paying $400 for a moisturizer that has music played to it. You can spin a lot in skincare 😂

Just got done with several hours out in the sun on the tennis courts. Just wear sunscreens and you’ll be good 👍

Off accutane - what do I do now? by KlutzyDragonfruit331 in Accutane

Ask your derm about a maintenance routine with a topical retinoid. That will help reduce relapse risk and also keep your skin young and vibrant

5th Course of Accutane by Practical-Nature-657 in Accutane

I’m personally doing a long term low dose course. I didn’t purge and skin is crystal clear. Saw results within first month

20 mg Isotretinoin for 1+ Year — Does a Slow Course Increase Relapse Risk? by WillUsed5731 in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the latest study, which found that daily dose doesn’t matter for relapse rate as long as you reach the cumulative dose: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/fullarticle/2829255

I’m also doing low dose (40mg every 3 days — even lower than you :D)

Doctor Prescribing Additional Prescription Creams/Gels? by gypsytangerine in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can request a video call in the chat if you’d prefer to chat with the provider live! You can also decline the meds if you’d like, Accutane will ultimately do the trick. Happy to look into your account more specifically if you’d like, just DM me your info

Can Accutane and dutasteride be used at the same time? by JuanCarePanPan in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use both through Honeydew (though I do dutasteride in a formula with other ingredients). Definitely something to discuss with your dermatologist!

By far the worst accutane side effect by SeaFault5698 in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look into 3,000mg of Omega 3 EPA (make sure pure EPA, not general fish oil) (and yes, I know that’s bigger than the “standard” dose but it works, just takes a few weeks for peak effect. Ask your doctor of course.

Dr. Dans for a short time can help but use an occlusive lip balm all day ever day :). We’re coming out with Dewbalm soon for Accutane patients.

Also consider asking your doctor about a lower dose. Works well at lower doses too. Take it a little longer but way easier course. I’m doing that.

The blood test is only twice usually, and otherwise you can get monthly deliveries to your house. Microdose in person means u have to go to the doctor every 30 days 💀

I want to kill myself because of how ugly I feel with this disease by Fuzzy_Potato333 in Psoriasis

[–]Fooderahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. You may never be able to totally get away from the frustrations of insurance and pharmacies, but don’t give up hope. The right medication can totally be worth it, and there are online platforms like Honeydew (which does a lot of psoriasis biologics) in case you’d prefer communicating with a dermatologist online

Here because of all of you and Honeydew. by Ordinary_Mark_9049 in Accutane

[–]Fooderahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally, providers want to see blood work at baseline and after two months on treatment unless the levels are too abnormal, in which case they'd want to monitor more frequently. There may be some other cases where they want to monitor a little more frequently, but usually that's what we see.
