I’m done..

I’ve been on 100mgs for almost 4 months now. My skin stays beautiful for a few days and then every. single. fucking. time. I break out AGAIN. I’m at my wits end with this dude.

I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore. My current derm is booked out MONTHS and is impossible to get ahold of so I’m currently finding a new derm. I’ve done accutane once before and I’ll do it again. The first time I was on accutane I was only on it for 4 months.

I am in no way wanting to discourage anyone from using this. But I have a little rant…

Sprio isn’t a holy grail. I want kids so I’ll have to get off Spiro at some point in the next few years. Then I’ll have to deal with the acne coming back 10x worse than it was before?? No. It’s a bandaid over a very large open wound. I was so hopeful and I just can’t deal with this anymore. I personally didn’t have any horrible side effects due to accutane. It did make me a bit more on edge and obviously the chapped lips. That’s it. Don’t let people shame you into not trying accutane. Also, don’t let this post deter you from trying Spiro and don’t let it convince you to give up. The horror story’s will always be much louder than the success story’s.

I’m done having acne being the only damn thing on my mind. It ruins my days/weeks and I constantly feel gross and ugly. I haven’t wanted to go out and do ANYTHING this summer cause I feel so insecure without makeup on and even with makeup on. Accutane isn’t a fool proof way to stopping hormonal acne but it does help it by shrinking the oil glands, which in turn helps most types of acne.

If anyone has any rebuttals I’m very open to hearing them. Considering I’m a female, I’ll still have to wait a whole month for the pregnancy tests.
