"i took accutane 10 years ago while i was in high school. it&#039;s amazing what it did for my skin. the only side effect i had while taking it was a lot of really bad nightmares. after ten years my skin is still clear. i think i had my first pimple 6 or 7 years after taking it and only 1 more since then. i was on the lowest dose for 9 months. i was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome a few years after taking accutane though, which can be a side effect. it worked wonders for my skin so if your acne is severe and you&#039;ve tried numerous other products that don&#039;t work i would recommend taking accutane."
