Great points Freakin.

I had mild acne up till about age 23 and I was always able to control it quite well with simple salicylic acid(stuff you can find in any drugstore in Clearasil or Neutrogena, etc.).

Don't go on Accutane unless your acne is SEVERE. The risks aren't worth it.

I didn't want to take it after the doctor laid out the possible problems. Glad I did, but yes, always consult your doctor about this kind of stuff.

I took this drug in high school. Worked great to this day i still hardly get any zits. While I was taking it kind of sucked. YOu have to gradually up the dose over like a 3 or 4 month period and I remember during the last dose my skin got so dry it started flaking off of my arms if you were to rub them at all. Also during this time I noticed that if I worked out REALLY hard at all I would become very prone to passing out. Doctor said both of these are sideefects the second one being less common. Definetly worth the side effects in my opinion.
