Day 1
So after eating, I took the first one. I take two a day, 20mg each. They came with even more information, that I must admit, I didn't read. I normally read everything that comes with any prescription, but this has become so much! The amount of information is over whelming and redundant. Here is my check list for the first month.
Stay moisturized: The doctor made fun of male patients for waiting until their lips are bleeding before they start moisturizing. This includes skin moisturizing as well as nose, eyes, and everything else.
Drink tons of water.
Don't get pregnant.
Look out for depression.
Don't drive at night: "sudden loss of night vision may occur"
No contact sports: skin may tear, bones may break.
SUNBLOCK!
During the first few weeks my skin may get worse, before it gets better.
Ok I think that's it. After the whole month of waiting, all the birth control anxieties, and everything involved, taking the first pill is full of psychosomatic responses, before it has even been digested.
All I can say, is it is easier to get crack, heroin, morphine, Oxycontin, or a wide variety of drugs that are addictive and make you feel good. It takes an extreme amount of dedication for a woman to want to, and then to take this drug. And my commentary is that this is all because of abortion and our country's obsession with it. I have seen my responsibility for not getting pregnant as simply, I don't want to have an abortion. I think having an abortion would be painful and awful. But no where in ALL the literature did I read, that abortion would be expected if pregnancy occurred. I asked my doctor if abortion was always an option and they said yes, and that it is what they would recommend it, if all else failed. So in my opinion all this work and waiting for accutane is about abortion.
I wish the literature had all the statistics associated with the various form of birth control. They gave me that information in high school. I feel like the scare tactics of the ipledge program have made me more distant from making accurate and informed decisions, rather then the other way around.

This is EXACTLY how I felt when I was doing my research.
