Learn through someone else’s first-hand experience of the effects of Accutane
Reading an Accutane journal is one of the best ways to gain an understanding of what you might experience while taking this treatment. It's a great form of research. Just remember that every individual is different, and what someone else experiences may not be what you will experience.
If you are already on this drug or starting it, you may want to document your own daily progress in a journal as well. One suggestion I have is that you not only log your skin progress, but make this a diary of your daily habits. This means your diet, exercise routine, cleansing regimen, stress factors, etc.
This will provide you with several benefits.
First of all, if you should experience any side effects, you’ll be able to review your “history” to see what could be the cause.
Secondly, you might just find a correlation or trend between something in your daily habits to breakouts.
Third, it keeps you accountable and puts in you “solution mode.” Rather than getting stressed, you’ll be focusing more of your energy on possible solutions to treating your acne.
