The Accutane Adventure

This is my journal about being on Accutane. I'd read other journals about being on Accutane and I found them super duper helpful, so I thought I might do my own. That and I have nothing else to do.

So a little background on me. I think I started breaking out when I was at the lovely age of 11 and I started using probably every product under the sun until I was about 15, when my parents dragged me to the doctor. And thats when the prescription fun began. First it was (I'm not the greatest speller...so I probably spelt most of these wrong) Panoxyl, then Sans Acne, then Differen, then Benzomycin, then Clydoxcin, then more Benzomycin, then Orthortricycline and then Minocin. The thing was, was that those prescriptions worked...kinda. Right before I went on Accutane I was on 3 of them at once and my skin was okay, but I'd still break out. So, to the dermatologist I went. And two seconds later (after waiting a friggin hour in the waiting room) I was on Accutane.

The doctor must have told my like 500 times that I can't get pregnant while on it and yada yada yada. I'm not exactly planning on getting pregnant at the moment (I'm almost 20)...but the way they were saying it was if I was secretly thinking about it. Anyway...I'm going to do this on a week by week thing. I'll do my best to make it easy to work through, my html skills are lacking...and I want to make this page look pretty. Or at least better than it is right now. Its like a mini project. I like projects.
