Accutane Experiences?

Question

Please only respond if you have actually USED this medication!

I'm thinking about going onto Accutane but I'm a little scared. What was your worst side effect?

Also, my acne is so bad that I'm really insecure around my boyfriend and I usually won't let him see me (even though he insists I'm gorgeous) :( How did you ladies deal with this?

Please share, I want to know your experiences with this! <3

Answer

I can only speak as an esthetician because I already suffer from depression & im not allowed to take it. It speeds up the cell turnover rate, and in replace of acne, you'll get sensitive skin that is also flakey/red for a while. And no, you cannot cover it with makeup during this time. It also has a lot of other horrible risk (mental and internal) and I just don't recommend it at all.

Answer

I went on it for 6 months. Honestly it was so worth it. The only negative thing about it is how much it dried me up. But it's suppose to. Just make sure your always moisturizing. Also getting a blood test every month was a pain. But so worth it because it totally cleared me up!

Answer

I've been recommended it. I have had severe acne as well  I am on an antibiotic to clear it up call doxycline and I blood pressure pill to help lower my testosterone( that's why I was suffering) the dermatologist said that accutane is a serious drug. You have to go in every month for a pregnancy test at the clinic you have to sign a waiver. It could cause severe anxiety and depression.. I wouldn't try it
