Roaccutane is brilliant!!! Ive been on it for 6 months and has done wonders for me. You are stopping people from taking due to side effects that could happen. It hasnt been proven!!!

This drugs helps kids and adults that are very self concious to gain more confidence in them selves.

Next time before you post such a subject, think what you are saying. Yes things may happen but get facts straight before stating them!!!

There is no objective truth to find out if accutane has helped or done substantial harm to a lot of young people. No post-marketing study has been done to evalute this. What there is, is a quite happy company selling it, and quite happy dermatologists getting appointments. The opinions of the patients are not yet measured.

I guess that somewhere when the drug is removed, or in the years after that, when profit allready is maximized, then, maybe a post-market study will be done.

I just provided the information. It is fully legal to take accutane, I or anyone else can´t protect you from it. If you read the information, you have better odds to stay away from the toxin though.

I had to go off accutane. I was getting very clear, but I had a sore throat for 2 weeks straight. As soon as I went off it went away, I am not going back on. That just shows if it screwed my throat up that bad god knows what it was doing to the rest of my body. Ill use bp and get clear that way.

The only side effects I observed were very dry lips, drier skin, and feeling more sleepy and tired than usual. Th only dementia I can think of is the one I got from acne itself.

But whatever, acne is back..........

I took accutane and I couldn't be happier that I did. I completely cleared up my skin. Only side effects that bothered me were the chapped lips and dry skin. No biggy it was like harsh winter conditions, is all.

I cried every time I looked in the mirror. Now I don't need makeup. I would recommend to anyone with acne.

Ya alot of people's acne comes back after accutane. That is why more and more people are using the combo of benzoyl peroxide in the morning (clyndoxil or duac or clindamicin all the same thing) and then retin-a at night. You have to get them prescribed but together they work very well.

That is me 3 months ago while I was still on accutane.
Everyone has a wekaness and mine is acne. I have received comments from friends saying that I am very charismatic. I do enjoy being social and outgoing, but acne can be quite a bad influence on my self-esteem. There are times I have massive breakouts and I feel like I just wanna stay home. Now, I am about to get a nice job at bank of america and I fear having to deal with all this mess again.

Some people think I am stupid (and I know I am) for overworrying about it, but it is not that easy. If you are overweight, you somehow know that you can loose weight. When I was a kid I was chubby and now I am thin because of a persistent of lots of vegetables, water and no fast unhealthy food diet I follow . Acne on the other hand is persistent (at least for me).









Anyone else feeling the same way?









So anyway, thanks accutane for bringing some self-esteem back.

SORE THROAT!!! I have a to sing for a show in 3 weeks and this is only my 3rd day using roaccutane!!! HOw long does the sore throat last? As long as I am on the drug? let's just hope it's a coincidence. ARRGH!!

I was on this medication too in 2008, and it has been almost two years since I quit taking it. I could only take it for two months because it caused me so much pain and I was constantly depressed and angry, it was one of the most difficult things I've ever been through. On top of that, I just found out I might have had a brain aneurism for the past two years. I'm terrified and I regret ever taking this horrible medication.

So yeah. These side effects HAVE been proven and I am the proof. As much as I hate my skin, I can still honestly say that acne is just not worth it, health should always come before vanity.
