Accutane has its ups and downs. It cleared my acne RIGHT up! i was on a prescription for 4 months. i had little bumps on my forehead that wouldnt go away, and other spots but accutane cleared it up.

I lost about 15 pounds from taking accutane. I was 120 before i took it and went down to 105 in the summer. I hardly ate when i was on this drug, it stopped my hunger for some reason. Also i noticed some mood changes, id get irritated more easily.

I went off the pill all happy because i thought i didnt have to worry about acne anymore, but surely enough around 3 months later i noticed it started to come back. Its been about 6 months that ive been off it. It didnt come back as bad. Thank goodness.

Now im on the pill because taking pills works alot better for me then on-the-spot treatments. Hopefully it wont come back when im off it.
