Yeah, I was on accutane about 15 years ago and there was nothing on the market that matched its effectiveness. Things have changed now, and there are other products that can be nearly as effective with little side effects.
Also, when I was finally put on it I had already been given 7 or 8 different treatments that saw no success. My family doctor still wouldn't put me on it because of the risks, and I actually had to shop around to find a doctor that would prescribe it for me. I'd maybe be questioning your doctors knowledge of this if I were you.
