    Obviously Accutane isn't for the faint of heart, but for me, it was a great solution and I wish I had taken it 5-10 years earlier. I always had very mild acne, but after coming off birth control,...

    I've taken it twice; the first time for 3 months@ a low dose, and then 1.5 yrs later I was put on a 6 month course (40mgs a day). I'm pretty sure it came back after the first time due to hormones...

    Please do extensive research before taking this drug! It has dangerous side effects and simply DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERYONE! I took this drug 25 years ago as a teen with moderate acne. There was...

    I know it's not the safest drug, and it is certainly not for the faint of heart, but Accutane is truly a miracle drug. I did one round of Accutane exactly a year ago, and my skin was perfectly...

    Miracle drug for my brother and myself. We each took Accutane, about 4 years apart, at the age of 15/16. My acne was quite bad, although I've blocked out memories of just how bad, I think. Few...
