accutane can **** you up though..
for people succeptible to it, serious mood swings, anger issues... as well as your entire body drying out like crazy.

i slept alot, and my friends told me i acted depressed... but they can go fuck themselves. if they had ever had a pimple the might be depressed as well

acne sucks but its something most everyone goes through for a few years, I wouldnt worry about it, man up and take it.

accutane definately gives you mood swings i wanted to fight everybody that looked at me wrong for awhile...and how dry your face/body gets is unbelieveable..i would get nose bleeds and my lips would get cracked... they say it messed women up even more..but accutane is basically a cure for acne it works unbelievably well.. but like said before in a matter of 6 months you will never have another pimple again. anything with benzoil peroxide made me break out worst..and dont buy that shit that jessica simpson uses your buying 40 dollars worth of liquid dial soap.

Accutane is a no no if you are even semi-moody or depressed already.

According to the FDA

FDA continues to assess reports of ******* or ******* attempts associated with the use of isotretinoin. All patients treated with isotretinoin should be observed closely for symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts, such as sad mood, irritability, acting on dangerous impulses, anger, loss of pleasure or interest in social or sports activities, sleeping too much or too little, changes in weight or appetite, school or work performance going down, or trouble concentrating, or for mood disturbance, psychosis, or aggression. Patients should stop isotretinoin and they or their caregiver should contact their healthcare professional right away if the patient has any of the previously mentioned symptoms. Discontinuation of treatment may be insufficient and further evaluation may be necessary.

Alright here is the money way to get rid of acne without perscriptions (unless its in your history)

Alright here is the deal:

In the morning let the watet and soap run over your face from washing your hair in the shower. Don't do anything else - At night wash your face with soap and water.

And finally watch what you eat. Try this for 5 days - Eat only healthy foods wiht little to no grease and drink water - No beer or coke or nething - gatorade good stuff like that i fine and i bet ur acne will be gone!

And finally watch what you eat.

Your diet definitely does play a large role.

Lay off the soda/pop/etc for a week or two, and drink a lot of water. You should notice a difference ... if you went back to your old routine, you'd definitely notice the difference.

I used to care about my acne a lot, but as I got more confident I realized that the amount of acne you have is equivalent to exactly 0% of how many friends and girls you have. Sure, I try to keep it under control, but I don't let it take over my life, or even affect it for that matter.

Unless of course your face looks like a toxic waste dump... then that may affect your social status a bit.

Theirs only 2 ways to get rid of Acne, time and accutane. Accutane can literally make you kill yourself if your weak and it has ALOT of side effects, use it for a couple months and it will dry ur face to shit that even ur **** lips will chop but this is the only 100% cure for acne along with time, its been proven, i use Proactiv so i wont break out but it barely works but i dont have like ugly *** pimples i just get some in my chin..

I have been on ACUTANE since the end of may, (its actually a generic called amnesteem) And yes, It dries my face up, and chaps my lips.. Theres a facial moisturizer called cetaphil that works really good. Anyways, My face is finally starting to really clear up. Some good non prescription creams are, Differin, And my personal favorite..it is called Benza Clin.

hygene

i take 2-3 showers a day and still get pimples but no nasty shit. but yeah hygene also.

edit- i just remember of my friend who doesnt take shower from 3-5 days straight and he doesnt have any pimples, he has baby skin, but its in ur blood.
