month 4 of accutane — this is what no one told me

i'm on a low dose (20mg eod) for what my derm calls 'maintenance'. things nobody warned me about: - my eyes feel like sand all day. artificial tears every 2 hrs. - sunburn at level ~15 minutes now. spf 50 religion. - my lips have ascended. they just always need aquaphor. - BUT my skin. clear. for the first time since 14. i'm 19. worth it 10x. just plan for the side effects so you're not blindsided.
