"accutane has been a miracle drug for me. i have not had a single pimple since the 2nd month of treatment, and i&#039;ve been off it for just under a month. my acne, like others, was horrible before accutane. another thing to note, i had virtually zero side-effects, just a little bit of dryness around my mouth and lips. it was nothing like the horror stories you read about on the web. just brush your lips with a toothbrush in the morning and at night and put some aquaphor/lip balm on after and you&#039;ll be fine for the whole day. i also always ate tons of healthy fats (grass-fed butter and meat, eggs, organic full-fat dairy, coconut butter, avocados, olive oil, macadamia nuts, and natural peanut butter) with my accutane, so that may have helped too."
