"accutane is the best medicine in the world. i get every side effect known to man and this medicine only gave me the common side effects. the only side effects i got were dry skin (which was a blessing because my skin was extremely oily), dry lips, and toward the last two months my white blood cell count got low. i would recommend this medicine to everyone. as long as you eat right and are somewhat active you should be fine on this medicine. also, most say depression is a factor but i have a family history of depression and when i was 12-15 (i am currently 18) i suffered from extreme anxiety and i had no emotional issues with this medicine. it is life changing."
