I took accutane at 12-13 years old.. I am currently 16 years old with NO side effects and NO reason to hate accutane. This drug saved my life. As a teenage/preteen girl, I went to the pool with my friends and never took my shirt off because I was scared to show my acne covered skin. Now I am confident with my body. I was on accutane for 6 months straight with cystic acne all over my face, back, and chest. Do not listen to the ones blaming accutane for all of your medical issues. People just DEVELOP medical issues. Part of being human beings. This was a miracle drug. Go for it if your acne is bad. You won't regret it. I couldn't say enough great things about it.

Hello, Hannah! How are you? I'm very glad that this medication worked so well for you.

However no, people don't always just develop medical issues, they can be triggered by many medications and Accutane is well known to cause some medical problems, which are noted and warned about by the FDA.

You really can't lump all medical issues one way or the other, not all are caused by medications and treatments, however, not all are genetic or due to bad health habits.

Has anyone else experienced good results from this medication?
