clear eyes. strong hands.
i heard side effects could be depression, bloody noises....uh and other stuff. that's all i know..i use pro-active(sometimes) and my skin's fine. you might want to look up this acutane on google or something. |

Curiosity killed the cat but at least it didnt die an ignorant bastard
I did a little research and found that it can cause aches/pains, nose bleeds, and dry skin. My doctor told me that it can lead to depression/suicidal thoughts and birth defects to pregnant women. |

I use some deal called Delacine T, which I feel is pretty good. Anyway, good luck with the accutane Jessica, I hope it works well for you... |

If I hadn't made me
I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up
But that's more than I can allow...

How old are you, Jess? Is this the type of acne that clears up with adulthood? I'm guessing no, otherwise you wouldn't use medication.. eh, sorry, I'm curious yet have no advice to offer. |

Quin custodiet custodes ipsos?
Scwigglie, I'm 16. I've had acne since I was 12, but it's been getting worse year by year, especially in the last year. I'm usually a patient person but I've had enough of this! |

Hey Jess, |

"Ah, but therin lies the paradox." - Joseph_Stalin
I used to take Accutane about 2 years ago and although there are said to be so many side efffects I experienced none whatsoever. And it cleared my acne up and to this day my skin remains clear. And I never had "intentions of hurting myself" as the doctors would say. Oh yea and one of the bad things about it is they have to take your blood every two weeks in the morning before you eat which isn't fun especially if you don't like needles but I dont mind them so it wasn't that bad for me. But if you don't like needles its not gonna be very fun for you. |

LewisM- Thanks for your testimony! Yeah, accutane and ro-accutane contain the same ingredient: isotretinoin. But actually I'm on Amnesteem (a cheaper generic brand), which also has the same ingredent. |
