"i love accutane! i&#039;m starting my 7th and final month now (started on 10mg a day, moved to 20, now on 40 for the rest of my treatment). i was scared to try the drug because there was so much negativity about it on the internet but i was so desperate to get rid of my acne and blackheads, my skin was so oily and my acne was leaving scars all over my face. the only side effect i got was really dry lips. i went through so much chapstick, and the skin on my face got a little dry ocassionally. i found drinking a lot of water a day stops all those side effects though. i highly recommend, the only minor problem i had was in my 2nd month on accutane i got mono, which was so weird. but could be a coincidence. no clue. either way, i love accutane,"
