"i took accutane when i was in high school. first i tried all different kinds of medication (over the counter and by doctor) the accutane worked so good! i had big cystic acne on my face, back and ears. the only for me is dried lips and of course skin out really bad. i also had bad mood swings. my acne was gone for probably 10-11 years and now it&#039;s back. i&#039;m hoping to try to get back on it."
