Good luck. I am on day #13 with Amnesteen (another generic) and so far so good. I do have dry skin especially dry lips - using tons of vaseline or aquaphor which helps a lot and drinking tons of water at least 2 liters per day. I would say the first week my back broke out a bit more than it already was and my face remained the same. Niow that I am in the second week my back is a bit better but myn face has broken out - cysts under the skin. It is doable though not horrific. I have noticed that my skin is much less oily. Keep us updated how you are doing. How much are you taking per day? I am taking 80mg (I take a 40mg pill after breakfast and another after supper). Good Luck. Maureen
I've been on it for 2 months, and let me say that it is not NEARLY as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. I've had a few bloody noses, constant chapped lips, but overall it is WELL worth it. Nothing too bad. Good luck to all
I have been on and off Amnesteem like 4 times. The prob with me is that the drug causes my Tryglcerides to sky rocket. So I have to take a med called Tricor to lower them. I have had good results with the accutane though. It really cleared my skin.
