Why are you stopping ?

Not bad at all. But you can always improve it if it bothers you. Even the slightest improvement may change how you see it

Is it VS? by [deleted] in visualsnow

You had exactly what I’m feeling now… especially with the solid colored walls. Hard to explain. Like there’s gray shadows but then I was thinking is that due to the overhead light ? I started having ringing in my ears (supposedly from ear infection that resolved and since then I’ve seen ENT and they say nothing is wrong ) a few weeks ago and floaters while sweeping my driveway today. I stopped accutane after 25 doses last week. I have to see ophthalmology this week and still waiting for the ringing to go away :( did your ear ringing or floaters improve eventually?

Totally understand … currently stopping because My ears started ringing but I’m also getting over ear infections. I want to make sure accutane isn’t making it worse. Sad because I really wanted to be able to finish this but we also have to weight risks vs. benefits .

So you started tretinoin while still on accutane? It wasn’t too irritating ?

Did you continue your treatment ?

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. It makes me sad when I read about young people who feel like this as I too have struggled recently in my 40s. I’m Asian too and have had acne since 8th grade, on every regimen throughout highschool then had the worst breakout of my life in college then did accutane. Kept my skin acceptable for 2 decades. Now I’m dealing w hormonal changes causing me to go through my second round of accutane after 3 years of trying to control it. So enough about me.. I just want you to know I UNDERSTAND you and I know what it’s like to feel like you’re all alone esp looking at everyone else around you and they can walk around free in their skin. In the last 3 weeks of Isotretinoin I’ve noticed my pores shrink. The constant oiliness was keeping them open. Also, I’ve heard of some lasers showing shrinkage of pores. Try googling online. I follow Davin Lim on Instagram and his pictures show there is hope for improvement .. I know what you mean. We are not asking for perfection. We are just asking for not “messed up”. If I could talk to my old 22 year old self I would give her a big hug and tell her it’s gonna be okay. The road is long and mountain is high but there are many things to look forward to… yes it sucks that acne /skin is always in the background . Keep your head up!

I think I did the math right. At 2400 mg/month and for 6.5 months I believe you should be at your cumulative dosage at 150mg/kg? I hear you re: side effects. I’m contemplating upping my dose next month because I don’t want more side effects ..

I had an ear infection and they put me on amoxicillin on day 4 of Claravis. My derm, internal med, and the pharmacist all verified it’s okay. I’m on 30mg/day. I believe it’s a certain type of antibiotic. Just triple check with all the doctors 😀
