Re: I'm resorting to getting on drugs

I feel compelled to tell you that accutane is not really a cure; I took it four times and still struggle with acne. It's a temporary solution that has so many negative side effects that I would never take it again, but I was desparate, like you.

And I must warn you of the potential for Depression and suicide...my brain no longer makes seratonin(the chemical that makes you feel good) on it's own, due to the accutane. I have to take supplemental seratonin for the rest of my life, so PLEASE keep this in mind if you find yourself sinking into depression. It's very insidious.

Of course you must make your own decision, but I wouldn't feel right if I didn't warn you of my own experience. As you know, my own Acne has responded best to olive leaf, due to it's anti-candida, anti-bacterial properties. I'm convinced my own Acne is caused by -not only candida- but bacterial infections, ALL caused by Antibiotics . Modern medicine has as many pitfalls as benefits. Good luck.
