Sorry about getting back to this a month an a half late. You are right in that in is not an acne issue. It was staph infection/impetigo. The doctor gave me an antibiotic cream and it went away completely in a week. I think the infection started in a crack in my dry lips, so the accutane was a cause in an indirect sense.
Today is the start of my 5th and final month. The side effects are as minor as ever.

On another note, a back picture that I was pretty proud of taken 3 weeks ago before football started. There havnt been any issues playing football while on accutane, thankfully.
Ah, I understand.
This stuff was the only thing that could have possibly stopped you from getting laid?
Well, congrats then, would have worried me too.
Almost no homo.
Good luck this season and glad to hear things back on track.
Hey. I’ve done one round of roaccutane so i figured i’d share some of my thoughts.
Firstly consider that most of the side effect complainers are 90lbs teenage girls. For a healthy athletic guy the side effects wont be nearly as bad (my personal experience+people i know who’ve used). I was really scared before i started using, but i am glad i did.
Regarding diet… i tried dairy free, gluten free etc… nothing worked atall. Peanuts and eggs always gave me issues with acne.
Personal info: i was around 21-22 when that shit broke out. Only on my face. I went to see a specialist. She was puzzled, because i only had it on my face and i was done puberty already. She thought i was using test… well i managed to prove to her i was not. She described roaccutan.
Now regarding use. Roaccutan is really toxicous. It accumulates to your liver i believe. That’s why it takes a while for side effects to kick in. You’ve used it for 2 months so no wonder, you are healthy and noy sensitive to side effects, so it will take a while but side effects should come when enough accumulates and you up the dosage.
Roaccutan is catabolic btw. It most likely has an effect on your lifting. I was able to retain most of my strengt and mass but didnt progress noticeably during. Also it causes dryness in your joints… and can cause your spinal disks to dry causing back pain. I had back pain during.
Regarding dosage… your doctor should tell you when to up it and what’s the max you can take
I calculated my max dosage myself based on bodyweight. And i did up the dose before my doctor said it was ok. In the last 2 months i even went over my max dose.
Alcohol is prohibited during the cycle. I did drink though. Taking roaccutan while intoxicated really strains your liver btw and most likely causes you to throw up. If you drink and your liver is efficien at burning toxics like alcohol (mine is) you should take the full daily dose in the am or atleast 4-5 hour before drinking. The longest time i staid intoxicated was 4 days.
During the cycle my liver readings stayed extremely good, i believe they were something like 20 when 90 was considered normal.
The cycle can hamper your progress in the gym, but the side effects aremnageable. If you hesitate about it now you should consider that its only 9 months and you have the rest of your life to reach your other goals. Acne however can be with you for life.
btw once you start taking it you absolutely cant quit until its done…
