I too have fallen victim to the horrible side effects of this drug. I'm in my late 20s and was on it for 1 month at a 60 mg per day dose. I should have noticed the terrible side effects sooner. After not but 1 week on it I knew something wasn't right with me. I started getting weird dizzy spells, headaches, blurry vision in my right eye, ringing in the ears, felt weak and tired, had difficulty concentrating and strange panic attacks almost daily. But stupid me I thought it would go away and wasn't anything to worry about.
Before I took it I felt perfectly healthy. I ate well, could think clearly, had lots of energy, and never had any anxiety. The doctor said the only real thing to worry about is dry skin and he's never had to take any one off the drug. WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL****!!
I've been off of it for over a month now and still I have all the same side effects only now I have terrible constipation and pain in my stomach. After doing research, I found this drug has been linked to major stomach and colon problems.THIS DRUG IS A F'N NIGHTMARE AND SHOULD BE BANNED!!
No amount of acne is worth the damage caused by this drug. I had to find out the hard way that doctors don't care about you only fattening their pockets and you can't trust anyone but yourself. I was a fool to ever go on this **** in the first place. Especially since my acne was never severe. I can only hope and pray that there's a chance I'll be healthy again.
Best of luck to all you suffering from the side effects:)
