2 months on accutane experience

[marlesip]

I know there are a lot of accutane topics here, but I want to share my experience, maybe someone has experienced something similar.

- My skin has really improved (and it's only been two months!).



But I would like to talk about the side effects. I was taking 40mg and then switched to 30mg:

1. Anxiety. I'm a pretty anxious person, so my worrying and obsessing over little things increased. I even had a panic attack, which I've never had before, but there was also a reason there for that.

2. I didn't experience depression, I'm still madly in love with life like I don't know who. But I have started having more mood swings. My mood can sometimes be ruined by some little thing.

3. Headaches. They are infrequent and not severe, but they are quite uncomfortable and long lasting, before they were almost non-existent.



Otherwise, I am really satisfied. The clear skin is definitely worth it. Clear skin is life.

One more thing: memory. It's like I've become more forgetful. But it's not very pronounced

Anytime tretinoin is better for long term as it doesn't have high side effects like accutane. I was on accutane for sometime but then shifted to tret from skinorac as it was very hard on my skin.

tret isn't so effective as accutane. I've been using tret, then it stopped working on my skin

did you finish the cycle? what dosage and how long did you take?

yes, it's brutal, but I think in my case it's worth all the side effects, as living with severe acne is even more brutal
