Went to derm on saturday
So anyway, I just wanted to update all of you on whats going on. I went to my derm on saturday and asked her for accutane and she wanted to do some tests first so she told me to go to the hospital and get my testosterone and other levels checked and I also had to do a 24 hour urine sample. That was not fun but at least that part is over.
So she told me to stop taking the mino which was fine because I pretty much stopped taking it anyway and to start taking 500mg of amoxicillin 2x a day. I have never heard of this but she said this works well. So I have to take this for a month until I see her on April 8th. At that point, if my skin is not any better and my levels are fine then she will give me the accutane. I didnt even realize that you have to register to get on accutane.
So for all of you that have been on this before do you have to go to the hospital and get blood work before they fill your script? If so that wont be a problem but what I wonder is if I go the same day that I get the script, how long will it take them to get the results and fill it?
I was hoping to get on accutane by mid april and hopefully have clear skin by end of summer.
