"i used accutane in the eighties so i guess i was one of the earliest patients. i was in my twenties and while my acne as a teenager was moderate, when i was about 20 i started getting large cystic acne. after about 3 years of tetracycline daily (worked great) that stopped working and a dermatologist put me on accutane.

    it worked great. there is risk with any drug but i would recommend it."
