ya its a really good medicine in my opinion i still have quite a bit of new whiteheaRAB on my face but i think that they are going down so all and all its really good i havent had many side effects just dry skin and chapped lips
 
im 22 and ive been suffering from acne since i was 14, i have tried almost everything out there, i am so depressed about it, i can't live my life because i feel so ugly with my skin problem... my doctor wants to put me on accutane but after reading the side effects i am so scared, but if it really helps i will do it, i am at the point where i need it.... my question is, i have a hard time taking pills, how big is the accutane pill? is it easy to go down? and also at first when taking it does it make you break out before getting better? and how long until you start to see some sort of result? please any information will help thank you!
 
i think the only thing thats gonna kill me from this medicine is waiting, waiting and more waiting...haha
 
its alittle bigger than a regular pill, kind of oval shaped, but its easy to swallow. and you go on it for 5 months
 
ya the waiting part will be hard for me too. blah. was the pill easy to swallow? & is it once a day?
 
thank you so much, have you felt any kind of depression from it? and also you can not drink alcohol while on it correct? and how does you skin look right now?
 
im about 100lbs, maybe 1? also were they easy to swallow? & how many months are you on it for? four/five?
 
nah, i have not felt any mood swings or depression from it, ive recently discovered im miserable deep down inside though, only because of how i look. i realized why my 10th grade year was so depressing, its because the whole year i had disgusting acne and people were making fun of me because of it, and i wasnt doing anything about it. i just started seeing a derm. last january and im 17 and a junior, ive wasted alot of time. i wouldnt advise drinking any alcohol with it.

so far its working pretty well for me, almost all of my acne/bumps are gone, theres still like 1 tiny bump on the right side of my face, but i have craploaRAB of red spots all over my face, the same spots that have been there the last 2 years. i really cant wait for the redness to go away so i can finally walk around with confidence again
 
kinda like an m&m, but alittle more ovaly. how come you are so obsessed with the size of the medicine?
 
well i am glad it's working for you, i may be going on it once summer is over due to my vacations & what not. i hope your face is perfect when it's over!!!

Umm, you're gonna have to let go off your obsession with swallowing pills. I had the hardest time swallowing a tiny Tylenol pill but now I can swallow multivitamin and hardcore bodybuilding pills 5 times the size of a Tylenol pill without any problems. Once I realized that I will benefit from meRAB, even in big pill forms - I started trying my best to swallow them and finally trained my gag reflex to allow me to bypass it for large, beneficial items.
 
i'm taking accutane for like almost a year. i will be completely off next month. a lil bit anxious over the off pill day, not sure if the acne will strick back, suppose it wont
 
do not take accutane. this drug completely ruined my life. my tendons started ripping and i got completely disabled on top of many other things. Acne is not worth the risk of accutane, especially since you can eat right, juice(works great), take certain supplements to help it. Seriously it is not worth the risks.
