Roaccutane - for acne, anyone taken it?

[ETsmum]

Just curious really. Have tried 2 different types of antibiotics with no improvement in my acne (had it about 15 years...) plus other treatments, lotions, potions etc. No chance of me getting pg (dh has had a vasectomy.) Just looking for anyone else who has had experience of taking it - sounds pretty heavy duty stuff

It is very heavy duty stuff. I had it some years ago under hospital supervision. The acne disappeared while I was on it but afterwards it came back. It wasnt quite as severe as it had been in the past but it was still very much there.

I would look at your diet. I know whenever I eat well my face really clears up to the point where people comment on it and when I even eat so much as one wrong thing I get giant zits come up (even though I'm 32!)
