Hey, folks: I wanted to come back and give an update because I remember being really scared of Accutane and today, I saw a girl with awful acne that reminded me of me, and I thought, I'm so grateful for Accutane. It's totally worth it!
I've done two courses of Accutane. They both worked out great. In between cycles, I wore a lot of makeup and got monthly facials and broke out again! I did my second course and that knocked it out. I'm done with makeup and facials. My skin looks great. Accutane is my miracle. I had rotten acne from 11 to 33. I can't believe I waited so long!
My side effects:
Chapped lips
Dry eyes
Achy joints and bones
Dermatitis on hands
Elevated cholesterol
My first time through, I was terrified by every side effect, but after I finished my first course, all the side effects went away. The second time I did Accutane, all the same symptoms came back -- but I wasn't scared because I knew it was all normal. All the side effects went away after the second course as well.
