I was on that medication for about 3 years.. I think it works wonders! At first it does make you a little sick ... But that's normal. You can try taking it ever other day and slowly start taking the dose your doctor perscribed you until your body gets use to it. If not, then your body will adjust in time. Just be sure that if you are taking any other perscriptive medications, the acne meds may make the other meds lose their effectivness (ie: birth control) so yeah... Just so you know! :)

My face is doing really good. Only a couple of minor places around my mouth, jawline. But my back is a totally different story and I don't understand why. I have been using brevoxyl wash on my face in combination w/ the pills, so i'm not sure if it's the pills working or the wash! Hah i'm so confused.. Any answers?

That is good that your starting to see an improvement already. It takes about six weeks for your body to actually build up a blood level. Don't be surprised if you have a relapse in the next few weeks. Just keep taking it as your supposed to. I used the drug for a while, pretty much as a weed drug to get to accutane. It helped me some, but mine was severe enough that nothing but accutane was really going to touch it.

Good luck

Well when you've had it for 7 years like me you've probably tried just about everything. & I have. Tired of everyone trying to say that "natural" remedies will cure your acne. Ha, i'm sorry but that's bull - yeah maybe if you have like 1 or 2 tiny spots I can understand using a natural home remedy or something. But when you battle everyday breakouts something stronger is needed.
