It is very toxic and not worth taking. I only used it for 14 weeks. 10 grams of B5 for 3 months will give same results and only 2 sides are loose stool and mild sensitivity to the sun as long as you take a B100 with it to prevent deficiences. After 3 months a slight decrease down to 3 grams a day will keep future breakouts at bay. Also need to use a mild soap 2x a day and 2.5% benzoyl peroxide 2x a day. Please switch to B5 as Accutane has more sides than the most powerful steroid on the market. Plus has your skin or lip area started to crack yet or your joints extra stiff and have you been getting bloodwork done? The B5 has to be powdered and not time released. Bulk Nutrition has 600 grams for $30 that is only $10 a month and you also need to take extra Biotin on top of the B-100 while on it.


I still hear a lot of good things about B-5 but i used it at 10mg ED for 7 months and got nothing, nothing at all but really blocked pores and maybe a little worse on the acne side of things. Everyone is different though. Cheers for the input.
