having to deal with all of the terrible side effects is killing me im not prepared for dry painful lips 24/7 i don’t want painfully dry skin no no why couldn’t it have worked the first time

Going back on accutane is a bitch and a half

my friend is talking about how she tried a new product and it made her skin miraculous and im just like :-) :-) :-) :-) i wish i could fucking pick an item off the shelf and my skin would be nice but no i get to deal with dermatologist visits and blood work and pills and quizzes and stress and anxiety and dry skin depression and self esteem issues and hair loss and all this other stuff.

the absolute weirdest thing about going on accutane is that i very rarely had the terrible depression and anxiety and suicidal thoughts that are associated with the pill. I never had any extraordinarily like bad thoughts. But once i got off the medicine all hell broke loose my emotions were all over the place my anxiety went way up i was depressed and sad etc etc. like i actually cannot recall being depressed while on the pill but when i think about being sad i think about like 6-8 months ago after i ended.

saw my dermatologist today and she recommended that i go back on accutane too. i got my prescription for a blood test which ill be taking monday probably. and then restarting accutane in about a month. Going to be keeping this very hush hush I don’t want to tell anyone IRL besides my mom and (maybe my dad).

almost a year after starting accutane, and a little over 6 months of ending accutane, my skin has recessed back to what is was like before i started. my skin in covered in cystic acne and it hurts. a lot. Going to my dermatologist next week (earliest i could get an appointment :( ) and discussing going back on accutane. wish me luck.

I don't know if it's the same thing as the article you mentioned, but my derm told me that they offer pitted scar treatments that sound pretty much the same as the article is talking about! Try asking your derm! You never know!

i havent been to the derm in ages so maybe she does have that! last time i saw her (in october) she wanted me to go on a retinol treatment because my skin was still very sensitive but since it's been a while maybe?? thank you!!

[accutameyourself]

apparently theres a new procedure to permanently fill in those awful pit scars!! where can i get this?????

yo thank god for accutane because i fell and cut my head open but its healed so fast cause of this damn pill 

[accutameyourself]

it seems like all of the bad side effects of accutane happened to me AFTER im done with my pills

like ive gotten the anxiety and the depression, losing my hair, dandruff and a few more but like this never happened to me on accutane???

Hi, so i know i've been VERY inactive. I'm at college and honestly i have a lot of work and a little free time. I finished my 6 months a little while ago. since then i've received two new break outs and both have healed very quickly. I blame those zits to poor hygeine though (exhaustion= falling asleep w/o taking off makeup, and waking up late = using a baby wipe to wash face instead of actually washing my face). At the end of my time though it revealed that my cholesterol levels were EXTREMELY high, which really scared both my doctor and myself. 

for my skin- besides those two breakouts my skin has been really clear! bad bad bad scarring though, so my doctor prescribed a retin-a cream for me, which i'll start using next week. 

hopefully everything works well for me and for the rest of you!!!
