Accutane experience/ recovery

I can't stress this enough.. If you've experienced side effects from accutane do not stress. I believe it makes them worse and there's a chance you might not be able to get out of a funk as is common with so many post tane users. I. E depression. It's a lot easier said than done, but you have to avoid it. I went through a breakup and therefore went throug...

Are you serious?! Have you read the side affects associated with Accutane... DON'T DO IT .     There is so many things effed up about what this drug can do to you. Why take the chance? So you can have clear skin? There are many other options. Especially if you don't have SEVERE ACNE.  And really look at yourself to determine if yo...

I would do ANYTHING to have never taken accutane. At about 20 I feel like I've wrecked my life. My skins thin and fragile and wrinkling. My shoulders shot (tendinitis). My hair thinned bad. It's embarrassing. It destroyed the quality of my life. I don't know if I wanna wait to see wha lies ahead sometimes. I just constantly think of going back in time and...

Lately I've been reading of all the great benefits (possibilities) of water fasting. I would like to do it to detoxify my body and hopefully "cure" itself. Has anyone tried this and what were your results? Also any opinions or advice welcome

This is a touchy subject, because i know that there are many of you out there that have depression directly related to accutane. I think my feeling of constant "shitty-ness" and worthlessness comes from indirect side effects of accutane. I also feel that accutane, whatever it does do to the mind and body, makes it harder to come out of a chronic stress/ d...

Ahh the joy and happiness that this drug has brought to my life is endless http://www.acne.org/...t/eusa_wall.gif  (Laying on the sarcasm as thick as butter used for a fat mans dinner roll).   Where to begin.. First of all, i used to have a thick, thick head of hair that i would treat like a...

Although I believe that people are getting closer, I dont think that anyone really knows exactly what accutane does to the body and how it does it. There is so much information out there. How do you know what to believe, if anything? Here are some links to possible mechanisms of action related to accutane and how it works, i guess you can determine for yo...

When i went to back to my dermatologist to ask why I had been prescribed accutane in the first place, he told me for scarring. I said " I thought it was supposed to be a last resort treatment?" he replied " Haha, not at all."  Through everything Ive ever known and learned, I have never once heard of accutane being prescribed for mild acne and scarrin...

I was 17 years old, playing sports, working out, eating right. I was of optimum health and I was loving life. I had a thick, thick head of bushy hair that ironically enough i wished was thinner. I now realize that i just didnt know how to care for it, and i wished it was easier to tame. At the time i had a girlfriend who had taken accutane and had pretty...
