I took accutane about 10 years ago. I was on a fairly high dose for quite a while, but no deleterious long term effects after I went off. There were minor side effects while I was on the drug similar to what everyone else has mentioned- I dried out like crazy, would sweat a lot, and face would get very red.
The good news is that it works for most users. Proactiv didn't do squat for me.
That being said, with all the info coming out, Im not sure I would do it now given the risk. Acne sucks, but long term health problems are worse.
