CAT FIGHT TONIGHT LOL

Dry skin, chapped/cracked lips and blood in the nose (not a
nosebleed). Skin is more sensitive, avoid sunlight because you'll get
a sunburn much easier.
In my case I blame it for making me achy and tired, but I have no
proof that it was the accutane.

It has done wonders for my acne, I'm still on low doses of it and
tapering down, ~8 months so far and 2 more to go. The scars on my back
are actually going away. After over a year of anti-biotics I still had
"pizza back" from acne, now they are there but 98% less noticable.

good luck

Hi, like yourself my acne was not as severe as some cases.
I was on for 6 months at 80mg (160lb male), self medicated.

1st month caused severe breakouts, after which things cleared up and
stayed that way.

Side effects i experienced were not that severe:
Dry eyes causing redness and tiredness.
Small amounts of blood from nose.
and obviously the dry skin + lips + hair. (a over the counter
moisturiser 'Vaseline intensive care' kept that under control.)

I am 4 months out of treatment and have been clear.
In my opinion the results (so far) have greatly out weighed the risks
with Accutane.
