Hello everyone!  This is the beginning of my adventure on a five month course of Accutane.  Since the Accutane journals that are already out there helped me so much in deciding whether or not to try this drug, I decided to make one of my own.  I hope that it will be of  use to somebody out there.  With this, I need to say that I am not a doctor, so don't take my advice or experience over the advice of a medical practitioner.  What is written on this website is purely personal experience. 
I am a 20 year old female who has been "blessed" with acne since the age of 12.  As for severity, I'd say it is moderate, but VERY persistant and troublesome.  I've only ever had maybe five cysts in my life, but at any given time I'll have what seems like a million pimples.  I've tried EVERYTHING, staticin, retin A, tetracycline, minocycline, even Diane-35 since I was 16, and nothing has ever helped.  I've been debating about taking this drug for a couple of years now, and always decided that the side effects were too severe and that I'd probably "grow out of" my acne.  No such luck!  So my journey begins, 60mg of Accutane a day for 5 months.  Good luck to everyone out there!
