"accutane saved my life. i struggled with acne since i was in grade 6. i was so hesitant for taking this drug for many years, always scared because i struggle with bad depression. i took 20mg (5&#039;2/f/118 lbs) and that was good enough. it didnt affect my depression whatsoever. i also struggled with eating disorders so was paranoid of gaining weight. i lost weight and ran a half marathon on this drug. don&#039;t let the forums trick you, although everyone is different. when i came off the accutane my skin broke out in awful oil. it went away after a month. other than that my skin is now pretty perfect, i miss being on it everyday to be honest. it makes your skin flawless."
