Ok I'm in England and it took over a year for me to get accutane prescribed to me. I had blood test after blood test, and then had to have a severe operation on my spine, so I had to wait for even longer. Anyway the doctors did not want to prescribe it to anyone because of the side effects and when I eventually got it prescribed to me the doctor went through all of the side effects, and a lot of the side effects are really common say 1 in 10 people. I think here in england they are a lot less likely to prescribe it unless you have severe acne.
Hi, I've just read your post and I'm from the uk. I'm on roaccutane, I'm on 40 mg at the moment and I've been taking it for over a month. I was wondering if there is any difference between accutane and roaccutane? Also does this drug make you pee a lot more? It seems at night that i have to get up a lot more often! But I think what you said was a bit over the top, as I have said I've been taking it for well over a month and the worse side effect I have is dry lips. I believe that different people react differently to drugs, and you seemed to be really unlucky that your body reacted to it badly. And you said that nobody should take it because it will effect them, I think that is way to extreme! If it was that serious and all the people who took it experienced the serious side effects, doctors WOULD NOT prescribe it. I don't know what the doctors are like where you got them from are like, but here in the uk, the doctors would not even chance it. As I said I think you went a bit over the top, my acne has cleared up quite alot and I'm going onto 50mg in a few weeks. For the first time ever, a drug is actually reducing the acne and I think it is fantastic.
