If you have tried everything, then you should go for isotretinoin now.

That's not a very good suggestion.
If you are going to go on isotretinoin you need to know that you are risking your longterm physical health, your mental health, your emotional well being, your sex life and possibly your ability to have kids. Not to mention a whole other list of permanent side effects.
If you are wiling to risk all this for clear skin - then that's fine. Just research and be informed.

I don't understand why you hate isotretinoin so much, I mea, if youre in close administration with your doctor, nothing can go wrong, don't just get carried away by negative reviews, everything that you see on the internet is not true anyway

You should do some research on many medication and you will soon find out that doctors are very quick to prescribe you these medications but they are not so keen to help you when things go wrong. people are being poisoned the world over. I speak from experience and I know that doctors are clueless. nothing can go wrong - what a joke!

Ten years ago I was in the same situation, thinking about if I should take isotretinoin. I did my research and found forums where people talked about permanent side effects and how bad their health was. I asked my doctor about it and she said that it wasnt true. Unfortunately I believed her. I also thought that there might be a very small percentage of people who do experience long term side effects and that I will not be one of them.

Isotretinoin has destroyed my health. If you think that you prefer a little dryness over acne, think again. Isotretinoin will not only dry out your skin and lips. It will dry out your whole body. Brain, bones, joints, mucous membranes, eyes, stomach... You might get Irritable bowel disease, depression, psychosis and many other horrible side effects. Your intellectual abilities might also suffer badly.

Try out the acne.org regime and try eating no sugar at all. There are indigenous societies that don't have acne at all and one difference is that they don't eat sugar.

Clear skin won't help you much in life if you feel nausea, have headaches, can't think properly anymore...

Why do you thin Roche pulled Accutane off the markets in the US?

Very kind of you to share. It's amazing how many people will disregard what we say and listen to doctors who no experience of the drug - crazy!
