 Posted: 08/14/07 - 03:31 Post subject: using roaccutane |
  |
|
When I went to college, that was the time when I began to have acne on my face and on my back. As I may describe it, it is not as severe as others are experiencing. It suddenly appeared right after my graduation due to stress and not having sufficient amount of sleep because of my thesis requirements and my defense plus lots of papers that I need to work on for the graduation requirements. Acne disappeared on my face and later on it had created marks or scars which was mainly my problem. Because scars are hard to cure.
I'm visiting my dermatologists regularly for treatments. After a month of treatments plus the set of topical creams, lotions and gels I put on my face day and night, I had noticed the improvements since there are no longer acnes on my face only the scars that these acnes created remained the problem. My doctor then, introduced me to take roaccutane for the scars and to prevent acnes from coming back. She even told me and reminded me of its precautions. She advised me to take 6 boxes of roaccutane (10mg) only which I would take for less than three months.
I've been taking it for almost a month now. I am now experiencing dry lips as I was told by my dermatologists. The sad thing is that anything I put on my lips like lip gloss or balm or even what my doctor told me to put on can't handle the dryness of my lips. hehe.... However, the good thing is that I can see that the scars are starting to lighten. Though I know that it would take months before the scars will totally disappear. And yes, that means it would costs me a lot of money for my regular treatments and in buying the recommended boxes of roaccutane for me. I do hope i will gain a lot and be satisfied with the result after all of these.
I've read things regarding roaccutane and I am actually afraid of what it might be causing me now that I am taking it or years after I stopped taking Roaccutane. Hopefully, roaccutane is not as dangerous if we take into considerations all its precautions seriously. |

im currently taking Roaccutane and its the best thing that has happened to me in the past year! im on thee 7th month of my 8th month treatment and the results started to show at the second month of taking the medicine.. the side effects, well the usual.. dry skin, dry lips, dry nose, some headache (probably because i dont use my glasses) etc.. and about the depression, well yeah ive felt a little of that, but nothing to serious.. the most annoying side effects in my opinion, are the dry lips and being tired all the time, im not even able to go to gym anymore because i get tired easily and sometimes even have trouble breathing after running lol but its worth it!
i recommend to use the drug, and find a good doctor that explains absolutely EVERY side effect that you might experience while taking the pills.. my doctor explained everything and every month explains it again xD just to make sure i havent got any new side effect i guess, its important to have a good and responsible doctor if youre gonna take this or any other treatment that could endanger your life. |

Roaccutane caused me hell for over a year, not being able to be in hot water for more than 2 minutes, irritable skin, dry lips, getting tired easily, itchy skin, dry hair, dry eyes, bleeding nose etc. It was terrible and I couldn't wait to get off it.
But when I started lowering my dosages like my doctor and my parents told me, I started to get migraines, and secretly took more roaccutane to stop them. When I decided enough was enough, and stopped taking them, thats when the sh*t hit the fan and I became the emotional wreck I have been for the last 5 moths. The migraines have stopped only 3 weeks ago, but I'm still depressed 9/10 days. I sometimes even have suicidal thoughts.
Roaccutane is a miracle for skin, but it f*cks you bad inside. I dont recommend it if you are the suicidal type, but if you are emotionally 'tough', go ahead, it works wonders.
I could of taken other acne drugs, but I wanted to clear up my skin in a hurry, because there was a girl who I liked, and I didn't want to look like a freak :s |

I prescribed accutane to myself in Mexico, after dealing with severe cystic acne for 7 months...
I am a 20 year old female who lives in ATL and am in the limelight alot, because my boyfriends in the music industry.
I recommend Accutane to anyone who is emotionally strong, and has sever cystic acne. I tried everything!!! I mean everything, from going to the dermatologists, to the aestician, to homeopathic remedies. Nothing worked until I got on Accutane. I know this is a very serious drugs with lots of side effects, but the truth to the matter is- acne has severe side effects on your life and self esteem. If you are looking for something that will work, and work quick, GET ACCUTANE (=    |
