I really need someone's opinion on this.
I can't decide wether to start taking
accutane or eitheir acnease? Can anyone
tell me which one might work best for
acne? Right now i'm taking antibotics, I
don't think it's that strong to fight
acne. Thank-you :d
if none of those work I have back-ups.

Accutane helped my acne problem too.
After I stopped taking accutane, acne came
back but not as much as before.

Accutane is practically a miracle fix if
you can put up with the extreme temporary
dry lips which will have you looking like
you always lived in the desert. Your
skins shed so fast acne cannot exist.
However the side effect to come 5-10 years
later is devastating. You will have a
suicidal urge like nothing you have ever
seen. The choice is yours. But the
suicide statistics paired with accutane is
overwhelming. Us drug companies have
done an almost perfect job of getting rid
of accutane-side-effects articles online.

Accutane Posted: 01-20-06 20:26pm
Accutane is a very powerful drug and it is
usually only a last resort.It will cure
your acne 98% of the time.You must not be
pragnant or planning to get pragnant while
on this medication because it will
severely hurt the unborn baby and you will
be forced to have an abortion.I know from
experiance,my girlfriend had it happen to
her.

I Used Accutane And It Worked Posted: 04-27-06 00:07am
When I was 14 I started getting acne, then
it got out of control. Really bad.
I started on tetracyclene and it wasn't
working so I went on accutane.
My acne was gone within months and never
got as bad as it was before I took it.
Although there are side effects, I didn't
have any except for the dry face, which I
encouraged :p better than pimples I
thought.
I've heard of this "suicidal tendancy"
theory and can say i've never had any.
I think the studies should look into the
fact that people who take accutane
probably had low self esteem in their
teenage years, which might coincide with
suicidal tendancies.
Anyway, eventually my acne began to fade,
around 17/18 and kept fading.
Now i'm 29 and get a couple every once in
a while, but so does everyone.
I don't know what the complications are
for women, so you should look into it.
But I would recommend accutane to anyone
who has bad acne that they can't get rid
of with antibiotics.
