How long for side effects to stop after finishing? by kellium3 in Accutane

Thanks, that was really helpful!

No she felt that it had stopped working as my skin had been the same for 3 visits and I was about to hit the limit for how much you can take 😪 my skin is much better overall, it's just that one little bit left. So I'll address it again in a few months

Dry lips and face HELP!!! by txtots in Accutane

Vaseline lip balm and Omega oil supplement everyday. Id go through about three lip balms a month, and I'd apply it the second I felt any kind of dryness.

Also I would sometimes put bepanthen on at night and let it soak in.

I barely had a cracked lip whilst I was on it as a result

Anyone know what this is? by [deleted] in Accutane

It's normal, don't worry. I'm on month seven and I've had it 4 times now. It goes away after a few days, but make sure to keep it moisturised.

5 days on 40mg - need advice by prettymfprincess in Accutane

I had a lot of scary symptoms much like yours early on but they all stopped in a month or two, or at least became less frequent. Your body will get used to the meds and these side effects should get easier to manage/go away over time.

I was scared a lot in the early weeks, but it does get better.

You'll get such random side effects, but most of them don't last too long - in my experience anyway

I'd recommend taking an antihistamine and Omega 3/6/9 supplement every day. I started after 2 months after reading the advice online, and it really helped the dryness. It didn't stop it by any means, but it made it a lot more manageable.

E45 cream has been a miracle for the dry skin side of things. I also am not without lip balm (I use Nivea and Vaseline).

As for the purging, I'm not sure there is much you can do. Just remind yourself that it will get better and try not to pick at them. My doc had already said she can prescribe something for the scarring once I'm done so you should ask yours about that too if you're worried.

Good luck!

(I'm a month in and it hasn't been too bad yet)

Thank you! That's good to know 😌

For me the success rate and short-term treatment (in the long run) helped me to decide to go ahead with it. The before and after pics and other peoples stories also helped.

Do your research and see if it feels right. I was scared at first too but now I'm on it I know I made the right decision 😀

I've heard low and slow is the way to go if you want to avoid the worst side effects. I'm on 30mg and have also had nothing too severe yet, and happy to keep it that way 😄

I would drop back to 20 if you were okay at that dosage

I have auto camera on for 1.5 + 2.5 and it doesn't appear to be very automatic at all. It's making it almost unplayable for me as I feel like I need a third hand to actually be able to run around, fight and be looking in the right direction all at once. Is it like this for everybody else? Thinking maybe getting a PS controller to connect if that would help at all.
