"deciding to take this medicine is a big decision and it took me quite a while. i got so tired of constant painful break outs that i finally decided to just go for it. for days prior to taking it, i read tons of negative and scary reviews which is the worst thing you can do before taking it. i am now on my last month (month 5) and my skin is truly unbelievable. what a transformation. i can finally leave the house without being embarrassed about my face. as for side effects, they were very mild for me. dry skin, lips, hair, eyes, and a fatigued feeling. every single month your doctor will review your blood work with you, i have not had any problems with mine. the last 5 months have been so worth the results!"
