Unfortunately, Accutane is linked to a series of serious side effects, including inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease, liver damage, depression, miscarriage and birth defects if taken during pregnancy.

I was taking it when it was still experimental. I had to give blood every two weeks to see what it was doing to me. I took it for 6 months. The only thing I really remeber was that my skin was dry and my nose was very tender to the touch. It never did anything else to me and it was 22 years ago that I took it.
Although it worked great for me, reading all of the problems people have had, im not sure I would take it now.
I do remeber all the pregnancy warnings all over the box.
