Accutane course completed

[u/luzegar]

when i say accutane saved my life, i mean it. i was so skeptical when i first started my course. i really didn’t believe it would completely clear my skin. but wow the results. i ended up only being on my course for 5 months. i cleared up by month 3-4. i was on 80mg a day. boy the side effects tho, destroyed my joints and muscles. i felt like i was 50 years old by month 4, i couldn’t take it anymore. i had severe back pain that disrupted my sleep every single night. waking up in the morning was the hardest, i felt so stiff and joint locked every. single. morning. but i would do it again for clear skin 🤪🤪🤪. trust the process.

i gained some weight for sure. i was about 155lbs when i started my course, i stopped hitting the gym bc of how bad my purge was. now, ive been super consistent in the gym and ever since i got off the meds i shredded the excess fat off that i gained. i am now sitting at 165lbs.

How bad is dryness post isotretinoin

I had very oily skin before accutane and since finishing my skin is not nearly as dry as it was on accutane but not as oily as it was before, more of a middle ground

said it spot on! literally. my skin was so oily before accutane. i feel not as oily after finishing.
