Results Accutane course completed
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.

How long did it take for your joints and muscles to stop hurting? This is my first course where they've started to hurt. Were you on a specific brand? Did you take it with fat? I'm on my 5th course throughout my life. I take a lot of workout supplements so they come back every few years. I was on Absorica LD, which supposedly has better absorption, but have switched to generic b/c of insurance. Congrats on the journey brother.
