"i actually miss taking accutane. i finally decided to take it after years of bad cystic acne and nothing else working. it took about a month to start working but i was only on 20mg a day. it was a godsend. despite being on such a low dose of it (i think the average is 40mg a day), accutane worked wonders. the only side effects i had were dry lips and dry skin, both of which were worse in the winter (thanks chicago). since going off it, i get little pimples again and my oily skin and hair came back. i wish i was still on accutane because it was nice not having oily skin lol."
