"in the sense of clearing skin, yes it did amazing, 
almost to good to be true. i honestly told everyone about it.
i took it for 6 months,
later that year i self harmed for the first time, this continued for years after taking accutane i&#039;ve suffered from depression, my weight starting changing dramatically i went from almost 200 to just just below 100 back up to 170 in a short amount of time. around that time i was checked into an eating disorder center. the depression plus eating issues and lack of energy i looked for another way to be okay, i started on street drugs to control my depression, before accutane i was such a happy guy, i know it&#039;s discounted, and for good reason too i just thought people might be able to relate."
