Well, I started Accutane ....

[theemperor]

2 weeks ago and going forward with it. I'm at 40 mg a day and been feeling fine. Been drinking plenty of water, eating right, and lifting . I have not felt depressed or anxiety. I have had moderate to severe acne on my upper arms, shoulders, and chest area for the last 4 months and have been getting worse. I went to Doc, she then looked at me and offered accutane after trying out topicals and oral antibiotics that did not really help, so I went with accutane. After researching it for a while, I felt like it was the best choice for me. I will update you all throughout the time I use it as much as possible and I KNOW this stuff will stop acne in its tracks cause I ACTUALLY have begun to see a very slight reduction in my acne after this 2 week period but I still have a ways to go. Another issue is that accutane cost $1600 and change for a 1 month supply and I nearly dropped DEAD after hearing the cost!!! Good thing I have insurance and paid a cheap $10!
Well, just wanted to throw in a couple of lines on accutane.

holy shit..$1600???

thank god for research chems and underground labs. $1600 a month is just rediculous but im sure its not just for the medicine, its for the doc visits and the monthly tests as well.

keep it up,around week 4 you will really notice improvement.some people get a initial breakout before it gets better.if this happens dont panic,it will clear.ive used it in the past and my skin is crystal clear.one more thing be careful on heavy lifts like deads or squats it really dries out your joints.

Keep lip balm around all the time an stay out the sun... Keep lotion handy too, shit was brutal to me

Dry lips, dry eyes, dry skin....Bro, you can't use too much Lubriderm, eye drops, and lip moisturizer when on Accutane.

So far, so good! My acne has been reducing lower everyday, my right upper arm is nearly clear of acne while my left side is still battling the acne. My chest is 85% clean of acne, all drying up to small little zits with no soft bacteria head. Its all dry up. My sides , I have really noticed are very dry lips and skin is getting soft but real dry. I have had carmex, vaseline, and plenty of lotion next to me for sure. Its mostly the cracked ,dry lips!! Feel like a girl putting that lip balm ALL the time. It LOOKS like the acne on right side is starting to FADE into the skin, I really hope!! I only worry about scars or bumps that will never go away cause I never had acne till now.

How long does that accutane from eclen last you? I think I figured it up the other day and if you take the recommended dosage 1 blister pack would only last like a week or two (i forget).
