Ballin at 4 Months and 1 Week
May 20th, 2008
WARNING: Accutane is a serious drug that can have long term effects on your liver, skin, joints and more. Try the Acne Products out there first. We recommend Murad Acne Complex.
So 4 months annnnd 1 more week down! Apparently, the brand name that I am taking this month is Amnesteem, which is still Isotretinoin USP. This is in all new packaging that is teetering impossible to open (however, the pregnant woman with the X going through it is still there lol). 3 more weeks to go! Soooo legit.
Breakouts: Very infrequent and less intense. I still get a little acne action once in a while but few and far between…Maybe I will never be completely clear but this is such a better deal than what I had before so I have no real cause for complaints. I don’t wear any face make-up to cover up at all anymore, like at all. It is sooooo amazing. My skin is OUTRAGEOUSLY smooth (one could even say as smooth as a baby’s bottom). Loving life…
Dry Skin: Skin is not really that dry at all. If I don’t wash it when I go to sleep, I will be really dry when I wake up…but then I just wash it and moisturize with DML and I am all good to go.
Lips: I have problems. I can’t stop picking at them and peeling them. I won’t be able to stop until I am done with this treatment. So close…
Body: I have been getting a lot of headaches recently…I don’t know if they are related. I usually get rid of them when I drink coffee in the morning or if I have some Tylenol at night, so no real biggie. As for the whole suicide debate, I really don’t buy into it. I think that acne would be a reason for depression, not the pills that are helping you get over it. I am in a pretty fucking good mood all the time now that I am off birth control and my skin is almost clearrrr… I don’t know, but I haven’t been suicidal or severely depressed since being on treatment, hope the same goes for everyone else on it!
Amanda: I have those mild headaches too but no dry eyes. I have only been on 40 mg for a month and a week now so maybe that is why? I’m not quite sure but I hope it isn’t too bad! Stay strong, it’ll be soooo worth it!
Alex: Yeah, I did go off of it and I am still on Accutane, which I know is both dangerous and illegal. However, I have no need to worry about having little kiddies anytime soon and if everything illegal stopped me than I would be a completely different person than what I am today. Haha, good luck with your treatment and tell me how it goes…
Harry: you are one cool cat, thanks for the suggestions…
