"in high school i had beautiful skin and rarely had any breakouts. then when i was 19 i started breaking out terribly! i literally think i tried every acne medication, gel, antibiotic, tea and pill under the sun. finally i decided to follow my doctors advice and try accutane. it was a miracle! my only regret is that i wasted so much time being scared of the side effects and didn&#039;t start it sooner. i was on it for 5 months. my acne got a tiny bit worse during the 2nd month of accutane but after that it got better and better! i experienced some crying spells, depression and dry skin but those things truly weren&#039;t that bad and you really can&#039;t put a price on your self-esteem/clear skin - and that is exactly what accutane will give you."
