Pro: Cleared up skin Con: 3 years later I started having horrible stomach problems. I am in pain constantly, my Gastroenterologist told me it was from the accutane. I never had stomach problems before. Now I had to move back home because my stomach problems have gotten so bad.

Great review?

Accutane may seem like a quick fix but it is not! It is my biggest regret and I am in pain everyday.

I took 6 months worth of accutane 60mg and it worked wonders. Its been 4 years since Accutane and i'm still blessed with clear skin. However, the only problem i have with my face now is that i have some scarring left from acne.

I wasn't aware that stomach problems was a possible complication. I'm so sorry you are having to go through that. :(
