I’m about to go on Accutane and I’m scared

goingonaccutane
Hi, I have had severe acne for 3 years and tried everything and nothing has worked. My dermatologist put me on tretinoin 0.1% and it took about 5 months but it cleared my skin for about 2 months. I got off on it and my face burst with acne again.I visited the dermatologist and they prescribed accutane. I was willing to try anything because I was desperate to get clear skin. I said yes and did all the signing and I read the side effects and I’m terrified. I start tomorrow but I need help.
