well my story is quite wierd so far. i began roacc on 19th december 2007 and continued to take them for 6 months. On 25th june i was supposed to go and see my derm, however i had an exam on that day so i missed my appointment. On all the leaflets i was given about Roacc, it said that treatment only usually lasts for up to 6 months and then you have to have a 2 months break from them. So when it came to my 6 month deadline, i had to make my own decision whether to stop taking Roacc or not, as my derm could not give me another appointment until late septermber. As i am quite young to be on Roacc and my body is not as strong as an adults and may not be able to cope for as long, i decided that it is better to be safe than sorry and came off the Roacc.
My face began to clear up since i came off Roacc, however my cheeks did not so when i went back to my derm in september i knew i would be back on Roacc. My derm told me that i was wrong to take a break, and he also told me that if i would have taken a break then my acne would be gone my now. This upset me alot, especially as i also got told that it may take 2 years for my scars to go. Though, in my opinion i believe i was best to have a break as it gave my body a chance to get back to normal.
Right now i am back on Roacc for a month and a half and my derm has told me that when im finished i will no longer have to go back and see him. So thats me, officially discharged. And once im finished these:
hopefully it will be goodbye Roaccutane and goodbye acne!
FOREVER!
fingers crossed
