with all the knowledge we have now about accutane I dont know how someone could actually take the dirty drug. It can cause perminant changes in one's brain, perminently damage your skin (sure acne can go away but your skin is more fragile and rough), change your hair, and various other things. The drug is disgustingly dangerous. It even severely weakens bones. An average dose of accutane is equal to taking 40 times the daily recommended amount of vitamin A which has been proven to cause severe mental problems. With such knowledge how dare anyone take a drug like this? I wish I knew about all this before I was urged to take the drug by my mom. One would have to be extremely shallow to be willing to suffer perminant brain damage and depression in exchange for clearing up their acne. be grateful for what you have. true mental illness is beyond devestating. I cant so much as lay in bed relaxed because the mind torture is always there. Accutane should be off the market.
