opinions on accutane please

MT2

Thanks for all of the opinions everyone. I am now leaning t/w trying accutane- I think my back/shoulders bother me more than my face (it is so hard to really clean it and get the retin a on it and I have a lot of small blackheads and clogged pores that the retin a hasn't helped with). I am ecouraged when I hear that people have had success with it that has lasted for years and love to hear flawless skin - I have never had that. Are there other opinions out there - good or bad? Thanks. Maureen

Im 17 and I just got off accutane a month ago. My skin is beautiful but I am having really bad depression. I have never been depressed a day in my life and i was very nervous to go on Accutane. When i read up on it online and i read that Accutane could lead to depression i thought. Yeah right! these people were probably messed up before and are blaming the accutane but now i realize that this is a hard drug. If i could go back in time i would have NEVER EVER taken Accutane. It's just not worth it. Hope you take my advice!
