Accutane (Isotretinoin)

[BestTonicIsChronic]

Ok i just got this medicine from the doctor for acne, its called Accutane but its generic name i think i Isotretinoin. anyways i took the first pill today and when i took it i was still coming down from a week long binge of pot. i didnt do any today but i was feeling kinda dissasociated i unno why but i was. so i took the pill like it told me to and like in 15 mins i started feeling really slow, happy, warm, and tired. kinda like a medium dose of codiene or a low dose of oxys and hell i liked it. but i wanted to know if any of you out there have taken this drug and either got the same effect or not.

Peace out

I sure hope you get positive answers. I'm getting put on Accutane :)

I want to get put on accutane. Proactiv works well with an antibiotic but such a pain in the ass to remeber to do. I here accutane works really well but you have to have blood work once a month yuck. Hope it works out for ya :)

My son is has been taking a course of Accutane and has been taking it for nearly 5 months. He's never experienced anything unusual phsychotropically. I will caution you however that you need to do the blood work to monitor the effects of the drug on your overall system. His acne has cleared dramatically however he has experienced overwhelming dryness and other rashes that required cortisone injections to control. Stock up on lip balm and lotion and drink more water than you think you can. Good luck with it!

K i took one this morning and i didnt get any of the effects that i had the day before (I was kinda hopein for it). It might have just been because it was the first time i took it or because of coming off the week long binge or maybe just a plecebo. so ill keep posted on my progress. also i checked on the internet bout accutane it said in a small percentage that it can cause pychosis so be carful if you get put on this.

peace out

I was on accutane, that shit works great, but it drys out your skin horribly! especially on the face, use lotion man. Also the medicine is really controversial, like some say it can cause severe depression, when i was on it i had to get blood tests once a month

[BestTonicIsChronic]

O man this stuff is horrible is you get a cold though. I was up all night coughing and my body temp was all fucked up, it would be at like 102 then 97 then back up all night long. My chest was all congested and when i coughed it almost felt like a burning in my lungs. And I havent smoked anything in like 4-5 days.

i fucking hate accutane.. took it for 5-6months, 4 years later I am still deppressed and It stunted my growth, I was supposed to be like 6ft now I am 5ft 5in. It made me really moody when I was on it too. Just a FYI.... ask your doc about the side affects.

[truplayax14]

O and also it dried my skin out soooo much that I had to put vasoline on my asshole so I could shit....

ok well my parents are rich, so i got the name brand accutane, and it was great. 8 months and my severe acne was gone. only inconvenience was that i always had to have chapstick with me, or i would die. and that unless you use special lotion on your face, it gets peeley and gross.

[FieldofHerb22]

My best friend used accutane. It cleared up fast! Pizza face to clear as hell. Only thing is he did get side effects but nothing to bad. Side effects included mood swings, chap lips (you're going to have to have chap stick with you 24/7 wherever you go and limit sun exposure), and also dry skin.

[dewdrinker]

1. chapped lips, wow get something medicated you will need it. i smiled and they bled...

2. red eyes, people always thot i was stoned and i always got sent home from work

3. bloody nose/dried up boogers in nose they need to be rocketed out in teh shower/gutter wherever u can shoot that shit out u cant breath out of that nose every morning. and hte boogers were always bloody.

4. impaired driving at night.

ya well ive never had mood swings on it, never had to vasoline my cornhole(ouch), never had nausia or trouble breathing, but i did get chaped lips but i knew b4 to have chapstick so they arent bad, also i get severe cottonmouth while stoned and it kinda adds to the trippyness of weed. Also ive found out that if you pop like an extra pill then ur supposed to u get like a codein-ritalin effect like ull switch between feeling pretty good and lazy to feeling good and real jittery. Too bad its not like an Oxy-Coke but can have anything. And most of u ppl r thinkin its like a speedball but its not its like they take turns but it feels good, last for like 5 hrs then u get tired. Anyone else get these effects?

[Tmar.aLL.DaYmar]

listen dude just buy a case of chapstick and youll be straight.

all those emotional side effects really only happen in women and people with depression. (nothing against women, but the drug affects them differently)

Accutane is the pwnage. I used to have really bad acne and I just finished my 5 month round of accutane and I have no acne at all. I also smoke a lot and my highs are the same as when I wasn't on it. It must have been your weed. About the dry skin.. I have this stuff called Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture and it works like a charm. It's perfect for your face. Have fun getting rid of your acne! :smokin: :smokin:

i recommend Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm.

http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10101&catalogId=10751

by far the most soothing and most effective lip balm i have ever used, and it's all natural made by a hippy up in maine. It's pretty rare outside of the new england area so I don't know if you're going to find it... but i can guarentee it's the best lip balm in existence :rasta: :D
