Accutane!

alright kiddos, I've decided to use this blog to record my accutane chronicles.
So I started the pill yesterday after going through so much annoyances to get it! a month waiting period, a couple days later for the ipledge, and even a couple more days later because my insurance hadn't been confirmed. But I finally am on it! woo hoo!

Month 1: 80 mg a day: 40mg 2x a day

day 1: felt great! didn't feel dry at all...and actually noticed my skin getting brighter throughout the day. Although, I didn't want to go to sleep I just had a lot of energy, I'm not sure if that is the accutane, but I don't usually have that kind of energy. This energy was very positive and not in like a hippie way :-p

day 2: its early morning so I can't say too much, but my skin feels really soft, and not dry at all.

Since I've been on the doxycyline during my month waiting period, I haven't had any major whiteheads or breakouts, just old acne that is more under the skin. The under the skin acne is the worst...I don't have it that badly, but even the little bit makes all of the scars and redness so hard to heal. I really REALLY hope my skin gets that cleansing peeling that some people have experienced on accutane...

But anyway no side effects yet except lots of energy for some reason.

Fox out.
