Accutane??...?

Question

do you think my doctor will give me it if my other medcine dosent work?

Answer 1

It is usually the last resort when everything else fails but it is a controversial drug in that some research suggest the patients become suicidal.  Research the drug thoroughly before using it for your own good.

Answer 2

If you are in bad shape, yeah...

Answer 3

Accutane is a very effective and typically is a last resort due to the potential side effects. The doctor will probably insist you take birth control pills if you are sexually active. Accutane has been linked to serious birth defects.

Answer 4

if your acne is bad enough yes...accutane does work but it is mean for severe acne and it really really dries out your skin.

Answer 5

I went through Accutane treatment twice.  It's not a miracle drug - I still have acne, but not as bad... but it is a last resort IF you have severe acne and you've tried everything else.

If you do take it, be prepared for miserably dry skin, and if you're a girl, taking birth control pills as well - it's required if you're on Accutane.
