I was one of the first 100 people in the US to be on Accutane....it was still experiamental at the time. I got acne at 13 and started the Accutane at 15. Not only did I have severe mood swings, but I also found that my vision decreased, I couldn't play sports because the medication affects muscles strangely. I became very sensative to the sun, my lips got really dry and it dried out my hair folicles to the point where I could grab an entire handful of hair and yank it out with no pain. That is just the abbriviated list. The side effects were just not worth the results. Yeah, it cleared up most of the problem....at the time. Now I am 29 and still having the same problems. I have been on nearly every prescribable medication with no end in sight.
I would be so happy to see a "cure" but it just isn't medically possible.
