In reply to ANYONE EVER TAKEN ACCUTANE???, posted by KrissyP on March 4, 2003, at 20:10:42
> Hi all:-)
> Just wanted to see if anyone has ever taken Accutane. Back in 1992-I had (what I thought was bad) acne-my boyfriend at the time begged to differ as well as my friends. But, my dermo put me on several different antibiotics, did cultures on my "pimples", and finally put me on Accutane. My face is clear now, but I read about a Senator's son who committed suicide and with a history of a very happy young man. There were other factors I guess, but my point I am trying to make is that AFTER I discontinued a partial dose/trial of Accutane, the side effects were horrendous (headaches, chapped, split lips etc..was when I FIRST got really down. I mean really, really depressed.
> Does anyone think Accutane has after effects or have you heard any information about what I speak of here?
> Thanks, Kristen
Hi KristenI took Accutane when I was 17.. I did't have really bad acne but it was persistent along with oilY skin... It did clear up both but my mom told me I acted depressed... I really didn't notice at the time.. I know the side effects are terrible but I would have done it again... Zits are so much worse in my opinion...
