Hello, I am on Accutane treatment for 4 months now and so far it has gone well (i had slight mood swings and sometimes blurred vision but nothing serious, i went to the doctor and we sorted it out). I also have allergy problems and have been taking vaccine for them and i sometimes use Loratadine when they get bad but the pills are not strong enough.
