I'm definitely more than willing to deal with that if it means having nice skin, haha. The one good thing about taking Accutane is that even though there is a risk for side effects, you are closely monitored by a GP with the blood work. Thanks so much for the tip about the Eucerin, I will definitely pick some up (assuming this can be found at Shoppers?)! Also thanks so much for commenting and sharing your cousin's experience, I hope I have the same good results. xo<br />NewfoundBeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10876178451079168640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910350560509990981.post-83374350567002196572014-07-27T08:23:47.037-07:002014-07-27T08:23:47.037-07:00I've heard some horror stories about depressio...I've heard some horror stories about depression as a side effect! Very scary but I don't personally know anyone who experienced it while taking Accutane. But like with all drugs, there's always that risk of unpleasant side effects. I'm hoping I don't experience those problems! And thanks so much for the support, I really think that people don't fully get it until they are dealt with acne themselves. I'll keep you posted on my progress, I'm patiently waiting for my upcoming dermatologist appointment. Thanks again for commenting Hao! xoNewfoundBeautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10876178451079168640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910350560509990981.post-75743047795119102482014-07-25T19:42:01.554-07:002014-07-25T19:42:01.554-07:00I've never tried Accutane myself, but I can sa...I've never tried Accutane myself, but I can say that my cousin did use it. I was very against it because of all the horror stories I had heard about it in the past and he was also concerned about them. He told his doctor about it and the doctor agreed and decided that biweekly blood tests would be taken to make sure that the Accutane wasn't harming him. Everything went okay for him the only thing he really complained about was the extreme dryness, especially his lips. He swore by the Eucerin line (the lotions and the lip balm)! His skin is amazing now and he's very happy!<br />I hope this helps you a bit and I wish you luck! :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533858178456578363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1910350560509990981.post-90736747424850222532014-07-20T17:17:26.848-07:002014-07-20T17:17:26.848-07:00I haven't tried Accutane (yet), but my acne ha...I haven't tried Accutane (yet), but my acne has gotten pretty bad that I'm seriously thinking about it. I know a lot of stories of people's acne getting a lot worse before it gets better and that scares me. The only other thing that scares me more about it is that some people even fall into depression. One of my psych professors would tell us that she would get a lot of patients with depression that was induced by Accutane and warned us to have at least the number of a reliable psychologist or psychiatrist. It is also not super common like the other side effects, but I'm still worried about it. <br /><br />I wish you luck with it, though! My adult acne is worse than my teenage acne and so I understand the struggle. Haohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739474339612068300noreply@blogger.com
