Well, it's been six months and so far everything is great. I've actually been basically off the meds for a month (seems to be a short supply in my area): No acne in the last 4 months Only oily arou...

Day 53   Well my experiment with taking 20mgs every other day ended couple days after I started when I experienced a few pimples but honestly that could of been the extended break I had due to t...

Hi Kelsey, If you dont mind me asking, what were your numbers? There may be a number of reasons why you may have had an abnormal reading if you normally dont have high cholesterol. Although your total...

Everyone has to go through ipledge- doesn't matter if you are a man or a women When you ask for accutane it will take a month to get accepted to ipledge- plus you have to get two blood tests before y...

Day 35... So my 1 month checkup with the Doc occurred 34 days after I started my 20mg journey, so I've had an unintended 5 day (1 extra day for them to get the blood work back and send in my script) ...

Honestly, I haven't really decided on what I'm going to do. I didn't expect it to work so fast this time on such a low dose so that has made me somewhat complacent on my 'long term' plan. Here is wh...

Day 25... Significant reduction in oil on my nose and forehead! No active pimples for the last 5 days Using retin-A every other day. Still using Cetaphil wash Sebaceous Hyperplasia continues to impr...

Although listening to your doctor is a good idea, an informed and educated patient is never a bad thing. Studies have shown that patients on average only receive half the recommended care the evidence...

Day 20... I'm amazed at how well 20mg daily is working: Face clear except a small blemish at corner of my nose Using Cetaphil Skin Restoring Body wash as a facial cleanser (gentle on my face and isn...

Day 15... Ok the MoM over my entire face experiment was a bust. My face is way to dry after washing to use MoM all over, I'll stick to moisturizer. I'll keep using it on my nose. Face is clear no ...

You can't compare Coffee to Accutane! Accutane is toxic even the original inventor stated that! Accutane aka Chemo can't be good for you and I won't even get into how many women who have unexplained ...

My advice is to be patient and not to expect major changes right away. Also, don't dwell and obsess on every headache, body ache, feeling down day you might have. Think about how good you'll feel when...

So I tried MoM and I have to say that it actually works! Its not a miracle cure but somehow it slows down sebum production. Today I tried it just on my forehead and nose and my forehead never really g...

I work in healthcare research and one of the cautions we always preach is inferring fact using research based on small sample size. There indeed maybe issues with how isotretinoin effects hormones but...

Green Gables,   I would love to see those studies. Being on isotretinion for the second time has caused me to read alot of research on it and I haven't seen any clinical study using the gold sta...

Oli Girl, I'm confused where in my response do you think I'm questioning that he doesn't have ED? I'm not questioning whether he has Low T, what I'm challenging is his notion that is what has caused ...

Thinning of the hair is definitely a known potential side effect. Part of that is attributable to the decrease in sebum which for me tends to make my hair less thick. Although you are welcome to your ...

So I've been a long time lurker and have read with great interest all the posts. Everyone on this board has helped me in someway, whether the posts have been based on science, personal opinion or eve...
