basicly i wanna just tell you about the adverse reactions as i have as a direct result of taking roaccutane . i have experience most of the side effects ... ( which is a t. bitch )
ok so i am in my last month of taking it and my skin is perfect and a few months ago i would of quite franky chopped my arm of whithout question for this skin , but i think it has come at a price .
i have experienced the normal skin drying up perticualy my lips which has been terrible and i have been give some sterody thing ( ...) i have also had mad skin rashes and my skin has split my arms are so sensative when i scratch the skin bleeds ( in my book thats not suppose to happen) inflamed skin has to have been the worst perticualy on my arms ??? red rashes (easy to hide but still im a teenager - i am entitled to moan) perhapse the worst has to be the mental side effects i have gone from being perfectly happy loud center of attention - to not at all going to skool since i am frightened of social situations i only recently found of this is a effect of my medication , i also have this obseesion of skool i just carnt bring my self to go i get panic attacks and anxaity attacts in the morning and i am afraid i am really i know i am doing this as well , everyother place is fine its just skool .... i really dunno what to do and i dont even know if these effects will subside i am afraid of not getting the high grades that my skl seems to force on me but i just genuenly dunno whatta do ? apart from this is not sleeping - at all hair falling out - back problems joing problems (for christs sake i am a cross country runner and i cnt jog, i was best in my part of the country and now i am just feelun like i cant do anything i am loosing confodence more and more and i really am scared of the prospect of the suiside factor that this drug has ) also i have problems with my nose and throte and i am gonna have a diabeatys test --- all this is for good skin
ok my case may be bad but i have spoken to others with these feluns - stoopid i know --- but i woulda called sum1 stoopid also if they had shown this blog to me 5 months ago --- my advice to peeps , just be carefull becasue i have realised skin isnt everything and to make matters worse my skin wasnt even that bad -- so reading up on this drug WHY THE HELL WAS I PERSCRIBED IT ?

Hey, im sorry to hear that at the moment your feeling alot of the side effects, just out of curiosity were you taking many things to help subside these effects while on tane ? such as vitamins, products, moisturisers etc??? also, theyre not suppose to b permanent effects, i hope theyre not anyway, as theyre not suppose to be. ... good luck with things and keep us posted. thanks.

I don't know why they gave accutane to you, they obviously shouldn't have.

You're WAY too young (you can see it in the HORRIBLE spelling, grammer and overall thought pattern of the writing) and you should have told your doctor about any or all of these side effects that should have prompted them to take you off it right away.

Yes, it's a bad drug for some people but your problems could have been avoided easily, by you.

Ok well I am sorry yes it could have been avoided by me , but however I didn’t want to have the prospect of going back on this drug . I cannot take the supplements such as any vitamins because of another condition I actually have . Yes I am 15 and English but yeah having to go thought all that might have seemed pointless to other people but however I still had the hope that the side effects weren’t that bad I did actually tell the “Derm� ( that’s short for dermatologist - just in case you made another pointless attack on someone) but he said that the side effects would subside , and that I would regret coming off them in the last month after coming so fare . Well thanks for your pointless stupid comment which personally got you nowhere and I hope you don’t post other comments like to other people who may be feeling also that bad … well done
(p.s just proving that I can spell when I am not in a rush , and I did think that I would be judged on something as petty as spelling in a forum for teens ?? ) sorry you are so stuck up - go and insult other people without problems

anyway i am glad to say that i am going to come off roaccutane in 3 weeks so thank gawd this isnt going to last for much longer

Hey CHick, ignore the idIOT. She obviously has no clue as to wtf she's talking about.

You are experiencing alot of the side effects all together, all at once, and that can be scary and frustrating. I personally know how bad the anxiety and panic can be, the last time I was on tane, I missed an enitre month of one of my classes because of it. But I can assure you, that once you stop taking accutane, the side effects will lessen until they are gone. Very rearely will they persist. You need to decide if you are ready to be on tane or not. Because if you feel worse now than you did before, you might not be ready for it. Also, we all know that school is very stressful and requires alot of time and work. I found it very difficult to be in school and on tane because I was sooo tired all the time. You might want to consider taking accutane during a time period where you can relax and not have to stress too much. And remember, your panic attacks are becasue of tane, knowing that its not you will make a huge difference in how your perceive your anxiety AND how you cope with it. I'm sorry for the insensitive comment that was made earlier and I wish I had read your post sooner. People like that should be banned from this site.

Take care.
