Accutane is great! :) I've taken my 6th pill today and already I can tell my face isn't producing as much oil anymore. I may be eating my words though in a few weeks. I know I will probably dry up like a prune but right now, all is merry. My skin is soft and smooth and my red marks are slowly going away. :) Happy happy, joy joy!

I've started to experience my first side effect, though. DRY LIPS! Oh my goodness, way dry. Right now I am getting away with just smearing some gloss on them but soon I will have to get something stronger. I can tell it is from the Accutane, though. Like before if my lips got dry, they just chapped a little and it was easily corrected with some lipstick or something light. But now both lips are drying out (used to only be my bottom) and it feels like I have been sitting out in -45 degree weather with wind blowing at my mouth. :P

I have still been experiencing headaches and I am not sure if the medicine is causing it now or not. I just need to lay off the computer a lot, this screen is starting to kill my eyes. #
