How long does it take for accutane to work?
I’ve bееn οn accutane 20 mg fοr mу acne fοr аbουt 3 weeks now аnd іt’s yielded οnlу minimal results ѕο far. I wаѕ wondering whеn іt wіll really kick іn аnd іf eating pizza/fаѕt food wіll effect thе effectiveness οf thе medicine. Please don’t refer mе tο аnу οthеr products аѕ I јυѕt want advice аbουt accutane. Thank уου.
I took accutane
the docs say oh one month and you will see results, but that’s bs, it took at least 2 months before i saw noticable results. and things don’t start really getting good until 4 months. and at 6 months, your skin will be smooth.
accutane if powerful, and after 4 days you should feel the effects really drying out your skin, I remember, the first month was torture, because my skin was confused and dry and irritated, but after a few months, it levels itself out, so you don’t have that noticably irratated dry feeling to your skin, in fact, wehn i was done, i was kinda sad, because I really enjoyed not having to touch up my makeup, or use oil absorbing sheets. food doesn’t change anything.
ALSO, if you don’t feel 20 ml is enough, ask to take 2 a day instead of one a day, one at night, and one in the morning, if you aren’t already that is
my doc didn’t tell me that until almost the end. i was like ‘wish you would have told me i could have more sooner.’ if you feel you aren’t getting as good of results as you want.
good lucks!!
My best friend used it and his acne wasn’t as bad as some peoples are. But it took about a month or two before it took full affect.He now looks way better!
i am actually on accutane as well..i just started 3 days ago…my cousin took accutane as well, she had more severe acne than me and she started seeing results after the first month and better results after..i guess it is different for everyone depending on their body and dosage…if you have very severe acne than you should get the 40 mg. I don’t even have severe acne and i’m on the 40 mg…talk to your doctor. Eating pizza/fast food shouldn’t really effect the effectiveness..but it could have an impact because usually every med can be effected by other foods…i think you should eat healthier though. My doctor did tell me to take accutane with some fat so that accutane could be absorbed better, but not something that has too much fat, because acctuane actually increases your triglycerides and cholesterol
