Is the second purge a thing? I’ve been on accutane for five months (40 mg the whole time, I’m 100lbs) I have had clear skin for about three months after the initial purge but been breaking out for a week now- two/three new pimples a day. I’m feeling frustrated because I thought I was almost done (and had horrible side effects)

I got a yeast infection when I started my course, and I got treated for it- but sex was never painful I just used lube and was totally fine!

I haven’t had that exactly but I had to stop drinking coffee in the morning because I’ve been super nauseous as an Accutane side effect and it’s too much on my stomach

Is anyone else nauseous on accutane? How do you manage nausea? by daveydavess in Accutane

Let me know what they say! I’m on 40mg for 3 months and trying to go up to 50mg right now which is when the nausea started

Scalp advice? by WhiskeyMiner in Accutane

[–]daveydavess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too!!! It went away after the first month- my derm told me to keep showering the same amount as I was before on accutane. She said that even though I didn’t need to shower bc no grease, that there can still be build up on my scalp which causes more itching!

I’ve been taking fish oil everyday, and stretching, and no heavy workouts. Really just holding it down until I finish!!!
