hi everyone
first course of roaccutane 40mg worked a dream, enjoyed months of lovely clear skin with just the minor side effects.
But unfortunately acne starting coming back, nothing really bad but was persistent.
At the moment I am on 60mg daily and my lips are sooo dry, joints bit stiff and im really itchy ha! Skin began [...]
Hey all,
I finished my first course of the tablets this time last year. I never really got rid of my spots, even at the end. It wasn’t anywhere as bad as it was when I first went on the tablets but it hadn’t completely gone away by the time I was taken off it. I [...]
Hi there,
It’s been about two years now since I came off Roaccutane, and I thought it’d be good to post again in order to encourage ‘newcomers’ to the drug.
I have to be honest and say that I had an awful time while taking it, but it really was worth it. Before starting the course I [...]
I’m just going to get straight into it (got report to do for uni). My acne’s no different from alst week – get cyst type spots that wont go for ages and scar. Make up wont cover it up because it all gets scabby and horrid.
Back hurts all the time, hips hurt sometimes not all [...]
A brief overview and some pics of myself a year after my roaccutane! Thanks for reading x

My face is also dry [...]

Hey all,
I thought I’d post as I haven’t updated in a good while.
I finished my tablets at the end of May and within 2 weeks I had a few spots under the surface and my skin was slightly oily again. I put this down to my skin readjusting and though its never been as nice [...]

Anyways about my skin no change really still clear which I’m really chuffed about athough the tiredness is becoming sort of unbearable now I’m really trying to get to bed as [...]
If anyone has followed my story…you’d know that I relapsed. I was on Roaccutane for 5 months. The first month on 20 mgs. and the next four months on 40 mgs.
After being off of it, I relapsed just about 3 weeks after that. I had to go to a different dr. because it would cost [...]
