"i&#039;ve had acne since i was about 12 years old. i&#039;m now 21 and on my last month of accutane (month 4). i can&#039;t believe how good my skin looks and it&#039;s even helped with some of the scarring. i did experience some of the side effects. my lips got really chapped and i would experience nose bleeds, but chap stick and a moisturizer helped with both of those issues. my mood definitely changed for the worse, but i wouldn&#039;t go as far as to call it depression. i was just a lot more moody than before. i also slept a lot. i was always groggy no matter how much sleep i got. but to me, 4 months of these side effects is totally worth how great i feel now. i can walk out of my house with zero makeup on and feel beautiful, just like any young woman should."
