I'm on Roaccutane right now. I tend to breakout when I stress. I've been on it for 70 days now. Started with 40mg for 30 days then upped my dosage to 60mg for another 40 days.

Side Effects:
- Depression when I eat or drink any dairy products. However nothing happens when I drink WPI thank God.
- VERY aggressive, tolerance is close to 0, but controlled.
- Lower back and knee pains. Slightly injured my lower back rowing and deadlifting last week. Rowed and deadlifted today but 70-80% of my original lifts just to easily get nto it with care.
- Cracked lips 24/7 and extremely dry skin. Never left the house without my moisturizer and lip balm. Also supplementing with a lip cream for dry wounds since my cracking lips started to bleed.
- Dry eyes. I wear contacts so my eyes are red

Although most of these side effects seem scary, in reality all of them are bearable. 6 months of those side effects will God Willing be worth it, since I'll be acne-free for life.
