Starting Accutane again!?!?!

I took this for 4 months when I was 17. Acne completely CLEAR. Gives you babies skin smooth and clean! BUT BE AWARE!!!!!!!!!! It brought a slew of new problems all of wich were non existant until weeks to months after treatment! Night Vision GONE!!!! Joint pains, ankle wrist hips ect.....I never remember being dizzy and tired feeling. Somtimes im feel like I cant even concentrate. Ive been to doctors for most of the issues and even the doctors say it is abnormal and very weird to have the symptons I do
"out of the blue". As for my skin 6 years pass NO PIMPLES as of the last 6 months they have returned. Not on my face that bad thank god but along my back and neck! Back when I was 17 I would have taken it if you told me I had a 50% chance of dieing only because its tough going through high school with that sh*T. But as for what It may have caused I think It may have been a mistake! Good LUCK out there Its the fountain of youth at Severe cost!

Just to add to clara's Post! Funny you mention the mood effects. I left it out of my post on accident! I considerably noticed a difference in mood swings and patience. I never linked it to accutane only because I never paid it attention like everyone else did! At 17-18 you really dont care if ppl like the mood your in! Later in life now I do notice I get very aggitated quickly and sometimes dont even feel like dealing with ppl or situations. Im not a freak about it though I can control it for the most part but in doing so ppl can defenitely notice a pattern change in my daily routine and the way I speak to people! As for depression its more an on and off thing hence the reason I call it mood swings! im not crazy and most ppl dont really even catch it but ppl im around alot pick up on the frustration. as posted before I get dizzy and its hard to concentrate and this some times sets the pace for my mood!

i have to say roaccutane has done wonders for me over the past 6 months but i am dissaponted due to the return of some break outs :( but you have to read the facts... only the majority of patients are cured for life, with some experiencing the return of acne. im going on my second course hopefully in a few days and with a healhty diet i recon thatl be it for me haha :)

hi .i took acutane 3 y ears aake them togethergo and it really helped,,but its coming back and i was wondering if i should take antother course,,but im taking bupoprion now,for depression ,for abour six months,its my last week,,should i together?

I took Accutane from usa online pharmacy http://isotretinoin-usa.info when I was 18. I had suffered with extremely severe acne since I was 11. Accutane was a miracle. It completely cleared my skin within 4 months with minimal side affects. I did have dry skin and pretty chapped lips for 4 months but for clear skin, it was a price I was willing to pay. Think carefully before taking this medicine due to the severe side effects that some people experience, but for me it was 100% worth it. I am now 21 and have had clear skin ever since. I can remember reading about Accutane before taking it and hoping it would be the solution I had been praying for. To this day, I am very grateful for the impact it has had on my life. I would give it a chance!

Just came across this site because I am looking
into accutane for rosacea on my nose. I had
acne for years before this. I am surprised no
one corrected the post about dirt and diet (I think
he said to eat raw foods). That is so unscientific!
as we know now acne has to do with the enzyme in
the pore that blocks its ability to exfoliate properly. That is why saw palmetto and calcium
d-glucorate (they both do separate things) alleviate this enzyme issue. If the pores can't
exfoliate properly (and topicals can't go deep
enough) then the pore clogs and gets infected.
This is similar to the HRT issue with hair loss
Try saw palmetto at bedtime and see if this helps

I can recommend a reputable pharmacy (Accutane)- http://www.drugs-store-online.com/catalog/Bes... I received the order and it was on time and the pills work great.

Totally worth it.

I am a 36 yr old female who has struggled with acne for 25 years!!! I am on my 4th cycle of accutane in my 2nd month. My doc started me out at 40mg a day the first month and she doubled it after I begged and pleaded with her. My skin is still breaking out. When I took it back in my 20's it cleared up within a couple weeks. This time is different. I'm at my wits end!! I couldn't even start acne scar revision because I was breaking out so bad, it would've been a waste of money. When does it end?

I can totally relate! I am 39 and have been fighting acne since my college years! I have taken four courses of Accutane. Each time it worked for a while, but my acne ALWAYS comes back. Accutane is the ONLY thing that works even for a little while??? It is the most frustrating thing in my life! I am going back to my dermatologist to see if he'll put me on it again? Feel free to share any other thoughts???
