"i was not this drug for a little over 6 months and boy did it work wonders. i had always had bad acne and nothing had seemed to work before. topical creams, birth control, other prescription pills. i had severely dry lips and skin, it sucked but it was tolerable. the worse side effect i had from this drug were mood changes. my doctor decided to try to increase my dose and boy that was a mistake. i became depressed, suffered mood swings and had some horrible almost suicidal thoughts. if you have any mental illness i would not recommend this drug. i had to undergo monthly blood and pregnancy tests as well. i am very happy with the results but those were the worst 6 months of my life."
