hey, idk if you're going to ever see this, but i have to go on a second course of accutane too. i was on it for 8 months and my skin stayed clear for about two months after getting off it. It was probably because I was in the sun all the time and I didn't have a worry in the world, because when I came back to school and with all of the newfound stresses in my life my skin got really bad again, and I'm very discouraged. So I was jw... what kept you motivated throughout your course of accutane?

@BeccaDC20 Hey don't blame it on yourself that's the worst way to go. I do the same thing but it's just not your fault. After my second course I rarely have a care in the world about it & it doesn't affect me hardly at all. I mean sometimes I'll get 1 or 2 pimples here & there but usually not even visible to anyone more than 3 feet away from me. But I can eat w/e I want, party, even on rare occasions forget to wash my face (that's pretty rare tho lol). Just know it's never guaranteed, but

Respond to this video... drink or eat fatty foods. Overall acne / Accutane made me a much stronger person. I obviously NEVER want to have to put up with either again, but it was worth it. I wish the best to you, stay strong

@DJmmeeooww thanks man, I hope everything goes good for you too! Things are good 4 me, I just got on 80 mg everythings been clear for a while. Don't worry about the initial break out man. It's like oh well ur face gets worse for a few weeks top but the end result so much better skin, good luck!

@dan88007 20 + 40 + 40 + 60 + 40 + 40 + 40 * 30 = 8400 mg total I think, it was sooo low compared to what your on man, I really hope to get on at least 80 though, congrats on almost being done!!!
