I finished my treatment like 2 months ago. Overall I am very pleased. I was on 60 mg for most of my treatment. I experienced the common side effects of dry skin (loved the dry face) very dry lips, and back pain. I was able to continue working out though. I would have to say my face was not completely clear at 5 months but I started to experience some anxiety and depression in the last month. That was what got me to stop treatment before the 6 months recommended by my doc.
It took over a month after treatment for the remaining acne to go away and now I have a few pimples the day before my period, when it went absolutely crazy before the meds.
There was one thing that really disapointed me however. All of the side effects went away other than slight back pain remains. But......the oil ALL came back!! I am just as oily now as before. I use like 3 of those clean and clear blotting sheets a day just to keep it under control and use the whole sheet! I was hoping someone had some suggestions for over the counter or presciption oil control. Right now I am using the oil control nutragena its new, but does not seem to make a difference. My derm said only add one new face product at a time to reduce breakouts. I also use diffarin every other day. Other than washing my face and the differin I dont use much else, I use oil free moisturizer just after washing.
Any suggestions?? | |
