Should I go on Accutane?

Last year I was diagnosed with severe cystic acne, and laid Minocycline (Minocin AKA). After a few months with no results, my dermatologist my dose doubled the maximum size for my body. When I was in today's went for my check-up, I was fully aware that he more than likely want to put me on Accutane. Although he talked to me quite a while about it and I feel better than I do, it makes me nervous is still ridiculous to go to the medicine. I went ahead and gave my first urine test (pregnancy test, but I want not want to call it), and because I'm abstinent, it was obviously negative. I have to think a month. Anyone taken Accutane? The experience was good? Comments? I take nothing.

Answer:

I am currently on my fourth month (of five) of claravis, a generic form of Accutane. I also had severe cystic acne before I started the drug. I had a lot of OTC products with different recipes, both oral and topical tried by my doctor. my Doctor finally referred me to a derm in February. on my first date he took Accutane immediately. I noticed that my skin is better within the first month of Treatment and am almost clear at this point. Some people will do to break out worse before they start cleaning up, however. I do not have intolerable side effects, only the dry lips, dry skin, dry nose, joint pain, when I train, and back pain that I just feel if I bend over or when I lay down. There are a very long list of side effects that may occur from Accutane, and you might be aware of them. I'm sure you know about the ipledge program because you have a pregnancy test. The program is pretty stupid here, because the people who were careful not to the drug in the past. it is a little ridiculous and requires that all women who may become pregnant as using two forms of contraception, even if they are abstinent. under the program, you need a month get blood tests done to ensure that the drug does not harm your body. You must also have monthly pregnancy tests and a series to answer questions / ipledge Accutane either online or by phone before the prescription is filled each month. I would definitely say that my experience with the drug were positive. Perhaps you want to check out this forum it has tons of info on Accutane. http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.php?showforum=46
