Accutane for cystic acne

UPDATED FROM Taurus252525

Completely stopped accutane

This drug might work for some people, but not me. I don't need to feel fatigued all day and worst of all, it made me break out in cold sores all ove rmy lips! Which is even more embarrassing then acne. SO, I don't want to risk these things happening, and i'm going to take the longer but better route anyways, to figure out what's causing my acne and try to fix it.

Really? I’ll look into it thankyou
Sorry to hear. I also had to stop Accutane. It’s dropped my white blood cell count way to low, it looked like I had leukemia. Anyways check out Organic Olivia’s acne story! I had to cut out dairy, take probiotics and followed her other steps! Works wonders!

Accutane is worse than how I imagined it to be

My lips were so dry they broke out in cold sores, I’ve had throat pain, extremely bad anxiety and worst of all insomnia. I already was doing enough sacrificing the alcohol but I don’t think I need to take his medic iron if it’s going to make me stay up at night

Hello , do not take acutane whts so ever it stin your system for 9 yrs to cause you major damage , it will shrink your pores of whole body ntonly face causing other big problems and natural balance of body ,mind andwhat not , try this ,,, buy margo ( neem leaf ) powder , wild turmeric powder , fenugreek powder ( methi dana powder ) all in equal quantity ...,everything is available in any indian or asian grocery store or you can order it on amazon they are very cheap , mix all these powders and put it in glass container , then take out pulp of aloevera ( from freshleaf , imean real aloevera not market made ), blend the pulp well and uptil it turns into watery consistency, then add that powder to it and bend it or mixit well with spoon to make a face mask consistency like batter , now freeze it in cube forms or buy any small molds to makeany shape or size ,save them in freezer and use it every single night before bed wash your face in morning , its simple youjust have to thaw home made herbal pack everyday and apply it religiously let it dry naturally if you cant keep it whole night, apply it minimum one hour but every day
And buy amla powder , turmeric powder drink it everyay with warm water or add it to your green smootie , it will cleanse your liver , blood and help balance hormones and clear up acne , good luck , if you cant drink it buy in capsule form from any organic food store , medicationa are not good they just cause other internal Problems or short term relive , then why to ingest harmful Chemical in body when body is already nt balanced from inside
