After 9 months on Roaccutane finally started to clear a little bit. My skin is nothing like it use to be but it's still a far way from clear.

I just started this 2 months ago, so I have 4 more left. I notice improvement that I never got from anything else I've been on(and I've been on it all). The side effects are pretty harsh but I keep reminding myself it'll be worth it in 4 months.

after bein given creams for my acne for years that didnt work i finally heard about roaccutane this 'miricle cure' i heard it was very hard to get onto but not for me as my acne is very bad. its a very strong drug and although i have only been on it for over a month i have noticed a big change in me. i am more depressed, suffer from dry lips and find myself very sleepy all the time but im hanging in there as i have noticed a slight improvement in my skin so i think any side effects are worth it

I've been on Accutane for 4 months now. It definetly makes things worse before they get better. Generally, you go on this med for 5 months, but they are discussing a 6 month with me. Side effects: severely cracked lips and inner nose, dry skin, nausea w/o food.
Working / Worked
This is my third week and I already see a huge difference in my skin. Except for the mood swings it is great.
