Good poll, interested to see how it goes

Accutane is the best medication on the market to treat nodular acne. Despite its UNPROVEN link to suicidal thoughts, this drug saved my life...literally. It cleared me up so much that my suicidal thoughts (before Accutane) disappeared forever. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT as a last resort. However, I wouldn't wait that long to take it after failed topical treatments, as you could receive detrimental scarring after putrid topicals fail to treat your acne.

Hey everyone lets let everyone know how it worked for you.

Im almost in my 3rd month of accutane treatment for moderate persistent on my neck back and face. My neck is almost completly clear and my face has no blackouts and is not oily at all. My back is just a bunch of leftover red marks from my breakouts. Expecting my 3rd month to be a downhill fight against acne.

After I stopped Accutane I had a relapse after just one month but if I could, I would take again. Having one month of beautiful, flawless, and glowing skin made me truly happy.

I was on accutane for 6 months. Did not clear up till about the 5th month, I've been off accutane for 7 motnhs now, and my face has been and still is sooooooooooooo clear. Best decision I ever made!!!

glad to see that everyone is giving there imput. keep it up it up it will help others make a decision on taking accutane or not.

Daithi,
Thats the sort of acne i have the same areas, i have been on accutane for 9 weeks now just over 2 months, my neck has started to clear up my chest and back has too, skin alround aint so oily, I'm still hoping for beta results as the course goes on. let me know how you go as the months go by. Are you prescribed the accutane or u get it onliine like i have.

I was taking accutane for about 4 months and it worked wonders . I got liquid from C-1 online, I was not prescribed. Now I am off it for 3 months and was completely clear and happy! But recently I started to notice that I was getting some eruption on my forehead and neck . It's not red and itchy and doesn't look like break-outs. Actually it is hard even to see it , I can only feel it and it feels like baby heat rash!!!I didn't have any diet change or allergies.

I am so worried about it ! What can it be????? I hope my breakouts are not coming back...

you should of continueed the treatment for at least 6 months, how much were you using alice? i am taking 100ml which + 50mg in tablet form.

relapsed after one month!!:@ god dammit

Hi Corey! I was Taking liquid from C-1 1.0 ml- it is 40 mg in tablet form, I took it for 4 months, I don't know what to do right now. Do
I need to start it again after a 3 month break? I just don't want to wait for really bad breakouts to appear:-(
I never tried G-guys , they say it tastes horrible. Is it true? Does it work for you?How long have you been taking by the way?

im on my 4 and a half month of treatment, and honestly 6months seemed like 4ever at first but time goes by so fast... now i have a month and half to go and im wondering if thats gonna be enuf time to heal completely...

Pretty consistently relapse a month or so after I stop treatment.

That's why I never stop treatment anymore!

;D

im 16 years old and have moderate acne only on my cheeks tho every other part of me is clear the nodual bumps are not big at all and theres very few of them but its alot of redd blemishes around them , i currently just finished my first month out of 6 on accutane, not much of a visual change if any yet, but my face feels sooooo amazingg never and i mean never oily since i have started.. Is this a good sign of things to come? Has anybody else been like this? I'm about 5'8 5'9 150 pounds and im currently on 30mg 1 pill daily, anybody with anything they could add please reply ... Thanks Alot!!!

Thats a very good sign, usually skin gets worse for the First month or two in the accutane cycle so your very much on track there Joe. Keep at it, and good luck

thank you will!. I just got discouraged the other day because i went to my derm and i was expecting to get my dosage up so hopefully i would see some results, but he said nope no change in MG still 30mg he "likes the way things are going" so yea i guess i should be more confident, like i said i just finished my first month and im just diennn to see results, im very impacient and hope it works, you can refer back to my last post for more info which is 2 posts up, i mean i guess it must be doin somethin if my face feels this good and finally normal and never oilyy!!! will see what happens i guess?=]=/

Yeah, impatience is something i had to deal with as well, just want it over and done with, i know how that goes. But the oil has stopped, the pores will start getting a little tighter soon, you will notice less blackheads and another month or so down the line, you will notice the spots/cysts you do have giving up, GOD its so nice to see.

Stick with it, give it time, and drink plenty of water all day.

Something new to repost like i said im on accutane for about 1 month and 10 days exactly and my face has almost absolutely no acne at all, its all just left over marks, will accutane eat this up within the next 5 months?? what can i expect, and my lips are so dry!!!.. Please anyone with information for me please post.. Thank You!!

I'm also 4.5 months in, but I'm scared it might not cure me as I am still getting several cysts. My acne is definitely better but I still break out a good amount. My derm said I will be on it for 6 months, but idk if its going to cure it or not. I hear a lot of people who say that their acne didn't clear until the end of treatment, does anyone know anything about this?
