We've been treating his acne agressively with Triaz, benzaclin and an oral antibiotic, but it's not working anymore. We are trying something else for a few months, but the next step is Accutane.

I had heard about the mental side effects, but I was shocked when the doctor opened a book and showed me 2 pages (small print) of possible physical effects. One of the techs said that she was on it and didn't have any problems.

So I want to take a poll: If you've ever been on accutane, please answer these questions:

Did you have any side effects?
If so, what did you do to aleviate them?
Was it worth it?

Also, if you didn't have any side effects, let me know that too. I really want to know if it's worth the risk.
