After giving much thought, outweighing the pro's and the con's, I've started Accutane today, taking 3x 10mg pills in the morning and 3x pills at night.
I'll be on the medication for the next 15 weeks (hopefully it's just a one time course), if not I'll need to do another course.
I'll also be doing mandatory blood tests every 3-4 weeks to make sure the medication isn't messing with my liver enzymes and such.
I just took the 3 pills about an hour ago, bought some chap stick and I'm looking for a good non-oil moisturizer to use for my face, since I'll likely be peeling and be very dry.
Going to try to update this every single day and let you know how my progress is going. I'm a little afraid of the first 2 weeks as the acne will get worse, but everything must get worse before it gets better.
It might be embarrassing but I'm going to power through it.
