found this group and its nice to know somebody understands ;( don't think I've ever felt so depressed in my life
Don't really know how to work this as I'm new 😁 does anybody know how long it is before you see a improvement from being on roactuane??
Hi Tatum depression is very common with rouccatane so bear with it please. My nephew had very bad acne and it cleared his up wonderfully. It is strong and not prescribed unless really needed but it is very good.
I would give it at least a month and if it is not helping go back to your doctor. If the side effects get really bad go back to your doctor asap. x
I've only started so I think the depression is because I feel so bad 😢 I know the tablets don't work over night although I wish they would, i won't go out I have to drag myself to work and I'm constantly in a mood half the time I won't even look in the mirror because I make myself sick I'm praying the tablets kick in soon and it starts to clear x thanks for your reply
Hi it probably looks a lot worse to you than to others, and many young people have acne these days. I do know how you feel though.
One thing I hope you don't do is pop your spots! Popping can leave lifelong scarring and pits in your skin. I had very severe acne as a teenager and there weren't all these treatments available then. I popped mine and had permanent scarring and pits so please don't. x
My boyfriend says it's not as bad as I think although I think he says that to make me feel better, I have seen worse cases but it still doesn't stop me feeling down.
i only pop them if they are yellow as I can't bear people looking at them
I live by make up but that isn't even helping these days, I don't think I have any scars just lots of red marks. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm 23 x
I've been on it for 2 months now and its actually very good I started seeing result fast! I also felt depressed but then I started seeing amazing results and it definitely started feel very happy(: hope everything goes well for you(:
Hello, thank you! that's good to hear glad they are working for you, my brother has been on them, much higher dose than me and a lot worse than my acne and they worked wonders for him, I'm just praying they kick in soon as it's taking a toll on my whole life style x
They'll kick in soon enough be patient it will definitely be worth it at the end(:
How long is your doctor having you take them for?
I hope so as I've tried everything else.. 4 months my dermatologist said I'm on 40mg what about you? X
Ive been on a lot of other pills but they never worked but this one is definitely working, I'm also taking them for 4 months and I'm on 40mg too.
How old are you? Have you noticed a big difference so far? X
17 and you?
I had really bad acne and I stared seeing a difference on my 3rd week I haven't gotten acne only a pimple here and there cause of my makeup but other then that I haven't gotten acne like I used to cause I would get cyst.
I'm 23, I've had it on and off for years but never as bad as it is now
half the time it's not even a spot you can pop there like red sore lumps just touching them hurts 😩
where are you from? X
Hmm I see well hopefully you won't get it anymore after you finish your treatment (: yeah I've gotten those too they hurt so bad! 😣 I'm from Utah and you?
Their painful rnt they 😁 fingers crossed it'll clear up soon
im from Manchester England x
Definitely are ha 😏 it will!
How is it over there? 😐
I hope so 🙏🙏
cold and wet nothing like over there I imagine?!
Hi, i have just started too, it's my 4th day on 20mg and i have bad breakouts. I feel it's the worse breakout my entire life because it has puss inside and too red. I am even ashame to show up in the office now because of this. Anyway what we can do is just to wait for it to kick in, lot's of people already suffered the same thing and you are not alone. Don't get depressed ok, it will get better.
Just wait and see 😀
Yeah its pretty hot right now but we'll be getting snow soon 😩
