User Medicine Opinions for Accutane

Latest opinions Results: 1-5 of 7 Page 1 / 2 << First 1 2 Last >> Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: M Age: 42 Location: Darlington, UK Time Taken: 35 days Reason: Severe Acne Date: 8 April 2012 Side Effects Pretty much everything described in the leaflet. Headaches, very dry lips, skin breaking apart requiring Betnovate, dry ears, nose-bleeds and inability to clear mucus, very dry and sore eyes. Additional Thoughts 1 month so far so maybe body not adjusted but all symptoms at once is proving to be very taxing and am tempted to stop treatment. Maybe acne is better than 5-7 months of this constant eye pain with very un-aatractive skin drying issues - inside ears is the worst Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: F Age: 21 Location: Lincolnshire Time Taken: 2 months Reason: Grade 8 acne at the age of 21 Date: 27 February 2011 Side Effects crusty nose, lips cracking & bleeding, inconsistent periods, diziness, really sore throat when I swallow, nervous twitch in both eyes, real bad sunburn very quick & easy :( Additional Thoughts It does work though! If you stick to it and can cope with the side effects the results are amazing Overall: Low adverse Reactions Healing Power: No dependency problems: Cost-Benefit: Sex: M Age: 17 Location: Medicine Hat AB Time Taken: 8 months Reason: Painful and itchy under skin acne Date: 23 August 2010 Side Effects -Extreme skin drying and cracking -Very dry lips -Slight depression -Sensitive voice Additional Thoughts This drug work miracles on my skin. Although the symptoms for me were quite sever, I cleared up quite well. After you are done using the medication, however, I would recommend a gentle soap to wash your face with as harsher face cleansers such as salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide can irritate the skin.
