What were you effects when you used Accutane?

So I heard about this thing called Accutane for acne. I have been researching about it. I was wondering if you have used it, did you like it? What were your side affects? Did it work? :)

Answer #1

I had acne pretty bad. I’m still all crater faced but using accutane did clear me up. I had to take it for 6 months. They say it can make you suicidal. I don’t know about that. I was suicidal in high school and I didn’t shoot myself after taking it. Its bad for your liver. Really bad. Worse than alcohol. It makes your skin all dry an crusty. When I would smile my face bled. Uncle berts beez wax lip balm cured that chapped lips caused by accutane and their almond lotion cured the dry skin while taking it. I had to put it on 3 times a day though. If you’re afraid of having scars for the rest of your life and things like antibiotics or bactriban just piss your acne off, talk to your dr. about accutane and make sure you research all of the risks. You will have to have blood work done to make sure that your liver is fuctioning properly before the dr will let you take it. I had to have blood drawn once a month the whole time I took it. I hope you find something like proactive or noxima that works for your condition. It would be better. I hope this helps.
