7:06:2010 - Returned to the hospital to see the dermatologist, who increased my dose from 30mg a day to 60mg, which I still take in one go.

The affect has been very quick all the acne is starting to diminish under this heightened dose. I no longer have any active acne on my arms or chest and my back is clearing up also. Obviously along with this my skin has become very very dry and almost flaky. Im now using two moisturizers on my face along with aloe vera gel, which was a really useful tip from “highonhealth.com”.

I am not getting many adverse side effects from the drug. I certainly dont feel suicidal or even depressed. At some points, whilst I was on the lower dose I had some moments of feeling very down, but these were when I was very tired. I think being on the drug made those moments worse, rather than actually causing them.

Recently I have given up caffeine and am sleeping much better as a result of this and have not had one of these moments for a while. <(-_-)>

Still have not had a single nosebleed since applying vaseline constantly twice a day. Again <(-_-)>

 And my skin is looking is looking the best its looked for a very long time. <(-_-)>
