Question:
Has anyone ever used the acne medication: Accutane?
It's a pill, and it's supposed to cure acne, but it has a lot of side effects.
I was wondering:
1. Have you tried it?
2. Did it work?
3. Were you worried about side effects?
4. Did you have side effects, and what were they?
5. Would you reccommend it to friends/family?
6. If you had to, would you take it again?
Answers:
My son was put in it when he was 14.
It helped but not very much.
The side effects are horrendous, it wreaked his vision (he had to get glasses), and you have to stay out of the sun ( burns easily and for your eyes).
They wanted to put my youngest son on it and I said "NO"!! I would not let any of children ever take it again.
And it is very expensive, about $140 CDN / month.
