acne
"I usually never write reviews. But Accutane changed my life. I have been battling acne since I was teenager. Initially tetracyclines and creams used to help but eventually seemed like my body got used to it and breakouts would come back. I never had a problem with my face but my back was a disaster! I have tried everything (doxycycline, minocycline, Bactrim, Atralin, Acanya) and some that I dont even remember. After months/years of treatment my doctor told me that we tried everything out there. I almost gave up. I moved and found new dermatologist. After receiving my health record and seeing how long I have been trying to get rid of acne she suggested Accutane. YES it does take time for it to work. I was on it for 6months but after first month I could see results. What is 6months compare to years of trying to get rid of it? IT worked so great that I couldn't believe. I didnt have a single pimple on my back. That was almost 2 years ago and since them never came back. My doctor said that she sees a patter of acne coming back in 5 or 10 years. As for side effect. It does dry you out. I loved that I didn't need to wash my oily hair every day but also my eyes were very dry (had to apply eye drops) to the point that I could not drive at night because of fatigue. But 6 months was totally worth. WIll do it again if acne ever comes back."
