Accutane - Does anyone here use it.

I took acutane when i was in 8th or 9th grade so around 98 - 99 maybe? It worked really well. I had really severe acne though... a large portion of one of my cheeks was basically covered in pimples and I'd get them quite frequently. I very rarely get any acne at all now, except around my hairline or neck... It really stopped me from getting acne through the rest of my life, not just while I was taking the medication

The only side effect that I ever encountered was becoming very dry and very easily sun burned. I constantly had to have chapstick and if I was outside for any amount of time I'd have to wear sunscreen. I still tend to have to use chapstick more often, but that might just be out of habbit now...

I didn't get depressed or suicidal... not that I can recall at least. I mean, if anything, I felt better about myself and was happy that I wouldn't constantly be picking at my face and such...

I took the acutane for at least 6 months to maybe a year. Sorry, it was at least 6 or so years...

But I don't blame you for not taking it. I didn't know as much about it back then, I knew there was a risk of depression and such... but I figured that someone else or myself would notice that before the problem would escalate too far... then again, maybe I was just really lucky

Jam it back in, in the dark.
