I started it when I was 13 I believe. And I wasn't old enough to take the full dose so I got half of the full dose.
That sadly did not work.
So I took my second round of accutane when I was old enough to get the full hoopla and so far it's going good. Been off it a month or two now?
Let's hope I stay clear?

Absolute wonders, had mild side effects of dry eyes, skin, and lips but nothing compared to what this amazing medicine can do for your face. Can't even begin to explain the joy this medicine has given me.

I am on my fourth month of Accutane, and although it has not completely cleared me yet, the effects are visible + I am happy with the results so far.
However, one must watch out for the side effects of this drug. I need to come off of it this week because of an increase in intracranial pressure in my head that has caused me memory loss.
Once it has subsided, however, I would like to continue treatment.
