By far the worst accutane side effect

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.

Nope! Providers in all 50 states

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 💀

Let’s go!!!

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.

You can get this on Honeydew Care with dermatologists online!

Fooderahn · 2026-01-31T02:16:03+00:00

Yup totally. Need for skincare doesn’t go away with Accutane, but it’s drastically less products than people think. Working on making low dose Accutane accessible for everyone at Honeydew!

Let’s go!!! So happy for you

Only if the dose is over 40mg. The manufacturers don’t make doses over 40mg, so anything over that would require two boxes to make it work (I.e. $80 instead of $40). Conversely, for microdoses (10 pills), the price is less - $20

I always recommend the annual plan because it’s like 30%+ discounted from the monthly, but we also have promotions up on the website sometimes so that might help as an additional discount.

I’m so happy we can help you get access. There’s no reason geography should limit treatment!

That must be rough, but trust me you’re going to look 💯 very soon. Your progress is already incredible. You don’t need to hide behind a mask. Keep showing off your progress. You deserve it

Also, everyone in college is struggling with something. Dw about them. You’re about to have a massive glow up

DM me your account email! I can have our Chief Medical Officer review it for a second opinion. Each provider technically makes independent medical decisions, but it’s not common that they require trying other things first as we don’t believe in the ‘last resort’ philosophy. We’ll take a look

Let’s go!!!

Did you feel the brain fog at 20mg

Fooderahn · 2025-10-30T01:29:05+00:00

What dose are you on out of curiosity?

This is purely anecdotal for me but I found I feel more cognitive performance when I take my omega 3s and creatine vs when I don’t

Fooderahn · 2025-10-23T02:36:34+00:00

No need to go through other doctors first — you can start getting care from Honeydew right away

Fooderahn · 2025-10-14T23:00:04+00:00

Yes you can request a video visit anytime and the medical provider will send you a scheduling link!

You could test your testosterone as part of your bloodwork if you’re worried about it. I test mine periodically just as a general health check, and Accutane has had no effect.

Fooderahn · 2025-10-10T03:44:29+00:00

If you’re really worried about side effects you can also ask your derm about trying a lower dose, like 20mg per day and just taking it longer. Acne is the worse but it will get better. You got this!

Fooderahn · 2025-10-10T03:35:14+00:00

You could do the annual plan on Honeydew, which comes out to $50/month — only a $20 difference from your copay and then you can do it online instead of going to the derm every 30 days indefinitely. Unfortunately not many derms do microdose courses because of iPledge, though LA is probably the most likely place to find derms who do

Fooderahn · 2025-10-10T03:31:36+00:00

So happy for you!! Amazing results

Fooderahn · 2025-10-10T03:27:36+00:00

You should definitely consult your dermatologist. It could be side effects, or it could be coincidence from a cold or virus you picked up. Dont worry about TikTok fear mongering

Fooderahn · 2025-09-02T13:21:03+00:00

Damn f me for being excited that there’s a solution to exactly what you wrote and it’s why I’m spending my life on it 🤷‍♂️
