    I have taken it. It a gift from heaven if you have bad acne (cystic acne) like i did. Makes it go away completely. Take extremely low doses like 40mg a week for a longer period of time and all is good.

    works great if you are taking it right. If you go on it and your doctor asks you what you are taking you need to be honest. bad side afftects if mixed with the wrong things.

    Accutane is awesome, I didnt have any negative sides from it. I am currently experimenting with 100,000 iu of vitamin A and seems to be working good.

    Most likely yes. Like collosus said try accutane at a low dose to keep your acne under control. Accutane can be hard on the liver so thats one reason to keep the dose low. Also Accutane isn't cheap.

    The stuff works great, but very expensive. Go too a dermatologist they will set you up.

    Supposedly it can make you depressed. Most of the people that have claimed that side are teens, how stable are most teens?

    My doctor prescribed it for me when I was 17 and never felt suicidal. I don't thik it's a good idea to take it when your a teen as it can cause premature closure of growth plates.

    Wish I had know that bit of info.

    That sounds like serious acne which is what accutane is for. The suicidal aspects of accutane use is only normally associated with patients that already have a tendency for depression. I really would urge you to try antibiotics first though which any doctor would prescribe you for a fraction of the cost it cost you off the net.

    i'd say if yours is this bad, you'd have no prob seeing a normal dermotologist and getting hooked up with a legit prescription and that'd help if you have the right medical coverage. buttt if you can't, hit up that research site if you think its really really that bad. otherwise there is other shit like minocycline and deoxycycline that could work for more moderate cases ( can be stacked with topical applications like benzaclin, etc )

    p.s. besides deoxycycline is rumored to be a antidote for certain terrorist airborne pathgens

    Shall we use accutane while doing PCT? I have bad pimples bros, I hate them! Now I'm on PCT, so do I have to wait till I finish my PCT or just kick in and get rid of those ugly stuff??
