Please don't try accutane!

Just wanted to tell you of my own experience with accutane...

I took it 4 times a few years apart because the results don't last. I've had Acne since I was 12 and still have some 40 years later, so I was desperate for a cure. However, besides being ineffective after a few years and a few times, it has horrendous side effects.

The worst was that accutane caused my brain to stop making seratonin, the chemical that makes you feel good. Remember all those suicides attributed to accutane? That's what it does to your brain. I have to take seratonin for the rest of my life now.

If you do take it, be sure to find a doctor who will give you a chemical brain test (yes, they can do that now)on a regular basis. But I would still advise against it. What works best for me is horopito oil (found on the internet) which kills YEAST! Yeast overgrowth is a common problem today and Acne loves it. Also, I find drinking fresh carrot juice helps alot; probably the acid/alkaline neutralizing effect and beta-carotene.

Please try EVERYTHING before trying the horrendous drug accutane (see internet for even MORE side effects suspected but not acknowledged by the drug company). Good luck. Tweet
