Just started 10mg of acutane!. What can I expect!? Its a very low dose, and its generic!.

everyone on acutane says the symptoms are so hyped up and there not nearly as bad as what the doctors and books say!. This is true or false!?

Ive heard results start overnight!. That true!?

Answers:
I dunno!. I took 20 mg/day for 5 months and it didn't help me at all, and I only have mild acne!. Everyone responds differently to the drug though, but the results won't happen overnight, I can guarantee you that!.

And yes the drug's symptoms are over hyped and not bad, especially if you're only taking 10 mg!. I only got bearable chapped lips while taking it, too bad it didn't work!.


Good luck kid!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

i was on accutane last year and wasn't satisfied so i am starting with a 2nd round but that's because i neglected and missed many pills!. im a girl so the birth control/Ipledge system was a pain but the only other symptoms i had were mild back pain and dry lips!. if it goes well for you, you can expect to have near-perfect skin by the end of your run! it really does work quite well, just remember to drink loads of water and take Omega-3's to help hydrate your skin and body!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

my sister was on acutane, and she just got off!. the results didnt come overnight, but they came quickly!. she had to join this program though, and she had to get her blood done every few weeks, which sucked cuz she hates needles!. your not allowed to get waxed, because acutane makes your skin really weak so it would quite literally take your skin right off!. other than the getting her blood drawn and the no waxing, she didnt have many complaints!. good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

IMPORTANT
----------------------

About 25% of the patients who used Accutane or other drugs based on isotretinoin may relapse and require additional treatment!.

But the biggest drawback of retinoids is the long list of side effects, which sometimes makes retinoids look like a disease rather than a cure!.

The most common side effects are dry skin and nosebleeds!. Many patients have also reported liver problems, while a few complained of depression!. However, the scientific community is still split on the issue of depression!. More seriously, isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects, which is why female patients have to use two separate forms of birth control or vow abstinence during the treatment!. Pregnant women are not allowed to use anything but the mildest treatments!.

The bottom line is that retinoids are a good idea if one can cope with the side effects!. This begs the question: why not use something just as effective, but without the side effects!. Acne treatment systems, such as ClearPores: http://www!.clearpores!.com/clicks/clickth!.!.!. are also popular because of their success in dealing with the condition, but lack the extreme side that makes retinoids a pain to use!. The choice between these treatments is yours!.
