"i will just say, i had a horrible acne.. and it didn&#039;t make it any better that i was super sensitive to fake hormones; birth control. i couldn&#039;t and still can&#039;t take it because i have a rare side effect to it that causes cystic acne.. i didn&#039;t figure this out until after the damage was done, unfortunately.. i was extremely desperate, because i tried everything known to mankind before birth control. i even tried 4 different antibiotics and only one worked, but i ended up relapsing before my year time frame was up. i was in a huge and not to mention horrible, predicament.. so, my last resort being accutane- was the best decision i ever made. the only thing i will harshly complain about is around the fifth month i started having hair thinning."
