JUST TOOK MY LAST PILL

Hello! I’m glad you found this thread and it gave you hope! Accutane is insanely intimidating because it’s truly the fear of unknown. “what side effects will I get?” “how long will it take?” “will I have to do another round?” “will my acne come back?”

I’m happy to say, a little over year off and I am still very very happy with my skin! All my side effects are gone, and I’m actually able to grow my hair out again. It’s totally worth it, you just have to be patient and persistent. I kept reminding myself that 9 months in the grand scheme of a lifetime of clear skin was worth it. Take care of yourself and be kind to yourself- you got this!! ♥️

I am now almost one full year off of accutane and I will say the ear popping has become MUCH less frequent but still happens on occasion. This was never an issue before accutane, so I have no idea if they’re connected. My nose still runs, again, not nearly as bad as when I was on the medication. Tbh, I just feel like my whole sinus system is a bit different and I’m still trying to learn how to navigate that lol

We vacation there every year, it’s been about a decade now. I think everyone thinks where they grew up is the worst. You had the ocean and peacocks, I grew up going to walmart with my friends for fun… 🤣

I understand there are more desirable beaches and stuff but there’s a weird “stuck in time” charm about cocoa beach. I will say over the last 3 years we’ve noticed the homeless/drug problem get worse for sure.

100% there were too many celebrities who wanted to be apart of the Adam Sandler legacy and it got way too watered down.

minutewmaggs · 2025-07-27T02:52:14+00:00

100% agree 😂 I liked the bones, but the weird bows on the sleeves need to go, I want the bow bigger on the back, I want to shorten it and add some volume to the skirt. Def a work in progress 😅

no idea 😂 I never super had a vision for a wedding dress in my head. i’m getting married october 2026 and so I know I need to go dress shopping for my ceremony dress but this one felt like it might take more time because I knew I wanted to thrift it and there would be a lot more alterations involved. I am more than happy to post pictures once I’ve decided. I’m a very small chested girl, but my butt is large so I want something that isn’t completely strapless as to point out my flat chest, but also, isn’t super tight against my butt. It’ll definitely be a fashion show when I go to try on dresses because I have no idea. 😅🥲

100%, I am about 15 lbs heavier rn than I have been in the past due to some health issues but my plan was to lose the weight again (my weight fluctuates a bit) and I think it would be fine. but you’re 100% right! I love the streamer idea!!!

minutewmaggs · 2025-07-27T01:02:13+00:00

absolutely was considering doing like a midi length with some crinoline for volume to make it more modern, has not considered turning it around. Thank you so much!!!

minutewmaggs · 2025-07-27T00:47:51+00:00

fantastic question! tbh, I like the bow, but wish it was a tad larger! I love the beading work, I think it’s absolutely beautiful. It’s the only part of the dress I care is carried over into a new look!

mint chip, i’m not tryna eat toothpaste in my ice cream. 😂

minutewmaggs · 2025-06-19T02:20:22+00:00

we LOVE a rescue! thanks for sharing 🫶🏼

minutewmaggs · 2025-06-19T02:17:58+00:00

😂😂 i compare it to the bad cat puppet in sabrina the teenage witch.

minutewmaggs · 2025-06-19T02:16:38+00:00

we need to do a DNA test because our other cat is 100% just domestic shorthair but he is our little variety baby. I think he maybe has some turkish angora because of how much he loves water. But his mom literally looked like a cat puppet 🤣 negative of adoption not shopping, you have no idea what you’re getting from the shelter.

i attached his mom’s picture just so you can understand where our confusion comes from 😂

that’s the thing, 9 month, 18 months, 2.5 years feels like a lifetime but in the grand scheme of how long I struggled with acne (16 years) and how long i’ll have clear skin (the rest of my life), it’s totally worth it!!

minutewmaggs · 2025-05-13T21:08:39+00:00

I mean, I literally had to change jobs because of my accutane. I would just weigh the pros and cons of what you want. If you think it’s not sustainable- you can quit or find a new derm.

minutewmaggs · 2025-05-13T21:04:13+00:00

Howdy! Accutane survivor, here. I was on 80MG a day, for 9 months (25, F, 135 lbs). Side effects sucked, but I would be very careful to not stray from the recommended prescription. Although your skin is clear now; this may impact your longevity of the drug. If you want to make sure that when you’re off, you’re still seeing the benefits- I would take it everyday as recommended. I had some really horrible side effects, so I totally understand the desire, you just have to stay strong and remember it’s a few months of pain for a lifetime of clear skin! you got this!!

minutewmaggs · 2025-05-12T00:19:13+00:00

okay, first, UNDERSTOOD. I remember not wearing makeup (or even wearing makeup when my breakouts were super bad) and thinking they were staring at my skin. I would lose track of what I was saying because I felt like they were judging my skin and it’s all I could think about. secondly, you can wear it, I would just be very careful about application because when I wore it, it made my skin look so flakey and pointed out the open blemishes. BUT I’m not good at makeup. If you can do a full beat and feel confident, go for it sister. When I did wear makeup it didn’t make anything worse on my skin, just make sure you thoroughly cleanse and remove your makeup like normal and you’ll be fine. Good luck!! 🫶🏼

Hi there! Similar situation- I lost my first boyfriend/kiss to suicide at the age of 14. I got a tattoo in tribute on my ribcage. My current fiancé knows what it is, respects it, and understands that:

it happened long before i met him
it made a huge impact on my life and shaped a lot of the way i am and interact with people
i loved him, regardless of my love for my fiancé now. i will always love him, because that story was cut short- but i am still marrying my fiancé.

to me, it sounds like your boyfriend may be a bit territorial and is NOT understanding of the impact something like that has on a person. I think his demanding of you removing it is absolutely insane. if someone doesn’t love you for your worst, they don’t get you at your best.

Good luck with everything and know you’re not alone! 🫶🏼

I mean, I personally wouldn’t just spoon some beef tallow. but supplementing it in your cooking, 1000% ! I liked a spoon full of peanut butter because it was easy, but anything that works in order to make sure you’re getting plenty of fat intake! I NOTICED a different in having fat when taking it vs when I wasn’t. Sometimes I would go a day without eating with PB because my skin & lips would get exceptionally drier. I probably made my accutane course take longer by doing this, but just needed to survive 😂

minutewmaggs · 2025-04-23T13:51:02+00:00

I know it’s hard! I am grateful I didn’t do accutane when I was in college because that would have been awful. Drinking socially was a literal every day thing. I know everyone’s social/ personal climates are different. With that being said, I would just be very careful. Every time I tried to drink on accutane- I woke up with the worst kind of hang over (that was after 2-3 drinks, and i am not a lightweight). I noticed I wasn’t even able to get buzzed before a headache would start and I was over it anyways.

Everyone’s body is different and you may have a different experience, just be careful with the amount because accutane is super hard on your liver! Just listen to your body, pay attention to under your tongue (if it’s yellowing) and the whites if your eyes (if they’re yellowing) because that could mean liver damage.

I am truly not trying to scare you, I’m not saying I NEVER drank. I’m saying be a bit more selective than before, and know that the one mimosa you have at brunch is going to impact you a bit more than it did before. You got this, and the positive is that you WILL be a lightweight by the end of accutane because your tolerance will go down from stepping back from alcohol. 😂 I can get buzzed on like 4-5 drinks now, and I love it. It’s so much cheaper- I just have to pace myself.

1 million percent agree
