I took accutane for 5 months and my acne cleared completely. Although, after a while I felt very depressed and insecure about myself. For no reason, even when times couldn't get any better for my family and I, I began to feel completely detached from friends and family. It's been an uphill struggle trying to become myself again. I don't reccommend taking accutane. It's not worth it.

Great review?
