Hi everyone!- I started Accutane today -80 mg per day. I wanted to thank everyone that repsodned to my ?'s re: their experience with Accutane. It took me quite a while to make a decision but I am happy with the decision. I will continue to check in and read all the posts and let everyone know how I am doing. Thanks, Maureen
i was hesitant to start accutane also, but now i am 3 and a half months in and couldnt be happier with my decision. had mild/moderate acne for too long, too much damage to self esteem. now my skin is smooth and breakout free since about 1 month ago, just left with some red marks that can be taken care of after accutane treatment with chemical peels that will speed up the process of having completely clear skin.
Hi, I'm also starting accutane today. Do you take your pill at night or in the morning? anyways, good luck!!
My derm said to take 1 (40mg) a day for the first week and then take two pills a day astrer that. She said I could take both together if that helped me to better remember both pills. Yesterday and today I took my one pill after breakfast and then I took 400 IU of Vitamin E a few hours later. Has anyone been taking Vit E along with the Accutane. She said it may help with some of the side effects. from what I read it should help with dryness.

I'm so happy to hear how successful it has been for you. Like you, I would say I have mild/moderate acne but it didn;t respond to retin A and clindomycin never mind all of the other stuff I used throughout the years and I now have it on my back so it seemed like Accutane was going to be the only solution. I am still abit nervous about side effects but I will keep a close eye on it. Thanks for the support! Maureen
