Accutane Miracle Drug For Me

Updated

I am very sorry that people have had problems with accutane but for me it was a miracle drug. I had severe acne as a teenager and still was suffering in to my late 20's. The self esteem issues that this caused were extreme. At age 27 I went on accutane and my acne was cured! My son and niece also used accutane and did not go through the bullying I went through because of acne. I am sad that this drug is off of market and no longer an option for severe acne sufferers.

I'm very glad that it worked so well for you and other family members, but it did cause some severe problems and that's why it was removed from the market.

There were many lawsuits over severe IBS from people that used it, plus it was found to cause birth defects in the children of users.

Did you have your son before you took Accutane or was it after? I'm worried about reproductive damage. If After did he turn out good? How old is he? do his Eyes look ok? Do they bulge or are they more deep set. Please reply. For some reason people freak out when I ask these type of questions.

I too was bullied even when I was in high school much younger kids would call me pizza face. I would stay home on particularly bad days. Many times over the years my dermatologist suggestedit and I always said no after reading the paperwork. Finally in my late 20's I could stand it no more and went on it. What a miracle! Why did I wait? I was reborn! Fast forward 20 years and here I am on disability in constant pain and unable to enjoy doing anything because I can barely move without a hundred things hurting and running out of breath. So not worth it. Oh, did I mention I was an athlete growing up? I used to back walkover across the living room. Sit in a split in front of the tv at night. I never even watched a Saturday morning cartoon. Shame on accutane.
