"accutane is a miracle worker! although its such a hassle to get the medication, what with the restrictions and blood tests and questions, it is completely worth it. i did experience some of the common side effects, those being extremely dry everything, and the occasional headache... and depression. but beyond that it is worth it to no end. i also would suggest not drinking while on accutane. if you plan on drinking, drink in moderation. the first time i drank on accutane the next day my face broke out and i got a rash on my arms.
