Are there any long term/lasting side effects after taking Accutane (or Amnesteem)? (Photo)

My acne problems have gotten progressively worse over the past 5 years. I’ve tried so many different treatments that my skin just feels irritated and tired nowadays. I didn’t hesitate when the derm suggested I start a 6 month cycle of Accutane, but now that I’m taking it, I’ve been doing a lot of research online (I know I should’ve researched beforehand). I’ve seen horrifying stories about Long term damage like eyesight and liver damage! I’m already 11 pills in and would hate to quit. Help!
