i heard its also very hard on your liver. it does work miracles tho, some friends of mine used it.

I took three courses of Accutane. It was amazing.

There is some questions that it makes people super depressed but I have never taken any heed in them. I mean, kids with really bad skin are going to be depressed anyway.

Also, it can [censored] up your liver pretty bad, so you have to get blood tests regularly. Also, it dries out your skin bad, I used to have horribly cracked and bloody lips and get bloody noses.

But yeah, for people with skin problems who have tried everything else it's a miracle. Plus, once you're done with it (or maybe a second or third course) you don't have to take it any more, it's permanent.

In addition to depression and suicide.

Accutane has been out for years and people have known for years that it is a great drug for severe acne.

I used it. Exceptionally dry skin was the only side effect. Worked wonders.

I'm in awe in how much this pill helped him, he didn't use creams or clensers or anything...doctor says he still has 8 weeks left but this has definitely helped him for the better, at least mentally.
