Acne
"Suffered with cystic hormonal acne for 10 years.  

Pros: Cleared my skin. Side effects wore off about a month post-accutane

Cons: dry eyes, dry lips, lower back pain, ankle pain, fatigue, sun sensitivity

Due to some of the side effects, I had to go easy at the gym, give up hiking for a few months, or anything related to physical activity or sun.



All side effects are manageable. You go in expecting the worse, but it isn&#039;t as bad as some make it sound.  I was on 60mg a day for 5 months.



I recommend it if you&#039;ve been battling acne for years. I have good health insurance, listed is what I paid/copayment.

Doctor: $30 co-pay (w/o insurance $160)

Drug: $15 co-pay (w/o insurance $500-700)

Labs: $20 co-pay (w/o insurance $500-700)"
