Having acne at 18 is one thing but, it's expected at that age. Having a sudden onset of acne well into your 30s is quite another. Regardless, so far I have noticed no mental side effects.
Care to go into detail TNC? I'm curious why you named it a suicide machine.
The correlation to suicide is well documented. Google it and the returns are astounding Also, I attempted suicide shortly after my first course of treatment. One of my better friends growing up attempted and succeeded killing himself his Freshman year of college. Granted, this was roughly two years after his treatment but like me his personality pretty drastically was altered and he was never the same.
Its a a shame really because those of you that taken it likely know it works like nobody's business. I was a pharmaceutical rep up until about a year ago and occasionally would run into a Dermatologist. They will tell you that there is no drug to this day that even compares in efficacy in treating cystic acne.
It really is amazing thinking back on the UNBELIVABLE POWER in those pills. It seems to literally dry you from the inside out as many noted talking about the scaly skin and cracked lips. I also had crazy joint pain that was akin to growing pains. GUSHERS of nosebleeds which of course stemed from the dry skin. And finally vivid, absolute eyepopping nightmares that occurred night after night. It is very difficult even today for me to look someone in the eye. I always say I don't know whether the Accutane retarded m socially or if I self conditioned myself from the shame of my face looking like I had the worlds worst case of measles. There are dozens more severe side effects if you want to look them up.
If you have children with severe cystic acne I don't envy you because it's a very tough call. My son turns 11in December and I pray to heaven that is a gene that skips him.
