Main Info:
Well I started my course of ACCUTANE a LAST monday. Today is sundau so it's been 7 days and 6 pills so far. (I only take one 40 pill a day)

BIG EVENT This Entry:
The initial breakout... I can't take it. I don't want to go to school. I have chapped lips, red face, and ACNE ALL OVER. In weird places too. All around lips and nose..... INCH UNDER MY EYES??? WHAT? I;m thinking of going on INDEPENDENT STUDY until I'm doen with the ACCUTANE course. It would be SO MUCH easier to get through it that way... I wouldn't worry about how I look EVERYDAY sicne I have to go to school EVERYDAY.

My Thoughts:
TOO LATE. Got stressed out again last night too. Cryed and all. I was beggin my mom to put me on independent study..... I think she will let me. We just need to get all the INFO. and get this done.. I just hope I won't fall behind in credits and have to make up some electives.. That would suck... I think either way stress or no stress the breakout will continue for a while... ACCUTANE is taking over.. BUT INT HE END.. it will all be worth it

Side Effects Details:
I had this wierd thign happen to me. I was at the comp.screen. Reached over to the left really far to put my glass of water back... And when I turned my head back to the screen, I felt a little light headed. (kinda like when you get up too fast). I tried to focus on the screen. Everythign started to get blurry and i thought we were having an earth quake or something I DONT KNOW, Because the whole room looked like it was slowy turning side ways..... I stood up and grabbed my bed.. And went to the bath room still feeling dizzy and put water on my face... Went to my room and laid on my bed for a lil bit... It was wierd..... Ive never passed out b4.. But it felt like how you feel b4 you pass out..... I dont know... Felt SOME back pains in the morning.. I just have to sit up straight... Other lil muscle feelings here and there.. Not realyl pain.. Just throbbing a lil lil... It's weird... And chapped lips still here, initials breakout taking over my existance.. LOL... I shouldnt laugh it's not funny at all. I was crying about it last night... Not because of "IT" itself.. Because knowing that I have to go to school on monday looking like that.. (that was before I talked to my mom about independent study).. But whatever...


Side Effects Overview:
~Face Redness
~Chapped Lips
~Initial Breakout
~Get Mad Easily
~Back Pain Once A Day
~Weird Feeling In Other Muscles Sometimes
~Weird problems with vision

Good Things This Entry:
NOTHING! Except I hope I can go on independent study to get this 5 month thing over with. Acutally the time I would go back to reg. school would be end of january.. So I would still finish up the last month of the course the first month I would go back to school. But my face has to be clear by then... People say all the time the BAD turns to GOOD drastically to where you can really tell around like 2 months into the ACCUTANE. Course
