"i&#039;m at my 12 week mark. my doctor said i can be done now if i wish to be, but i&#039;m going to go one more month just to be safe. my face, chest, and back are completely clear of acne. my side effects have been the normal: chapped lips (use aquaphor), dry eyes (eye drops), and just recently- joint pain. i&#039;ve always had some joint and back pain but it&#039;s gotten much worse the last couple of months. it may not even be related to the medication. however, i am getting an mri just to be safe. i love the medication this far. i&#039;ve heard horrible stories about people having bad side effects for years and years after, but i wonder how much of that is really related to the medication. people naturally get joint pain, etc. as they age."
