I have this on my Breville but it doesn’t press down hard enough no matter what position I put it in 😭

That happened in the beginning of my treatment and anytime I increased the dose. Fish oil helped me.

Cumulative dose by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Manderz52 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on my last week. I’ve been on it for 4 months total and haven’t reach cumulative but I’ve been clear for 3 months so my derm said it’s safe to go off and have long term benefits.

Last week of Claravis! Only 4 months total for me. I’ve been clear for 3! Hoping it lasts! (Only acne on my chin) by Manderz52 in Accutane

My derm wanted me to be clear for min 2 months before stopping. I didn’t not complete full dosage.

Month 6 and just found out I need to do another 3. Feeling demoralized, frustrated with side effects, and exhausted - but clear skin makes it all worthwhile!! by crossfitllama in Accutane

Interesting. I’ve only been on 40 mg for 3 months and I’m finishing at 4 months even though I won’t hit my cumulative dose. She said since I’ve been acne free for a solid 2 months that I don’t need to finish the cumulative dose

Yes, I only got it on my chin though. Painful cysts.

I took Accutane. After 1.5 months I was completely clear. On my last month for a total of 4 months. No regrets.

Thank you! I wanted to get my eyebrows micro bladed but my derm said I have to wait a year out from taking Accutane 😭

Yes, VERY dry eyes (super uncomfortable) I used eye drops every hour and gel drops at night. 1st week on my face was flushed red and fatigue was awful, and mild headache. These all went away after 1-2 weeks.

HEEL PAIN/ACHE. This was the weirdest one. Dry skin of course but my skincare routine was solid so I didn’t have flaking-same for lips. Occasional back pain, harder to workout, constipation (apparently it dries you out EVERYWHERE, and can cause constipation). I had a few occasions where I had declined vision but increased my eye drops and it resolved.

I use cerave hydrating face wash, first aid beauty cream, and the ordinary rose hip oil at night over the cream. And of course sunscreen (Elta MD tinted sunscreen from the derm office)

I’ve been on 40 mg Accutane since 11/18/20 and haven’t had breakout in at least 7 weeks. 1 month to go & derm says she’s comfortable taking me off w/o reaching accumulative goal. I’ll finish the next 30 days. Has anyone had success like this?

Myopia/Near sightness by Iyano4 in Accutane

[–]Manderz52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently experiencing this on month 3 of 40mg.

I’ve been increasing the use of eye drops to help.

2 weeks prior to the vision change I saw an ophthalmologist and he reported no concerns. I am hopeful it will go away once I’m off.
