I just started my fourth month of accutane last week. This is my second month of the 80mg. I completely understand everything you're going through. I went to the Dr. on Friday, and he said I may need to stay on it for an excess of 6 months. My acne isn't as good as it should look for how long I've been on the medicine. I'm experiencing the acing joints today more than ever. I've been sleeping a lot and I have no desire to get up for my morning classes. I'm upset that I skipped my business class this morning. I just found out last night that I'm not supposed to drink while on accutane. Until now, I've been drinking several times per week. Do you know if this could affect how my acne responds to the medicine? I'm hoping now that I know not to drink, my acne will improve. I'm quite upset that my Dr. never told me not to drink. The iPledge booklet doesn't mention anything, either. I love your blog, I just found it tonight. It's great to have someone who is going through the same stuff I am. If you'd like to contact me, please feel free. My email address is andy.nehrbass@unf.edu.
