I have used it before. It will dry your skin out and make you REALLY susceptible to sunburning. Wear sunblock I've seen people get blisters from the sun due to that medication. Some people it can cause depression so just check your emotions on it and discontinue if you feel like hurting yourself. At that low a dose you should be fine without a lot of side effects. I got depressed on it in high school but I was taking a large dose. There is a study stating that higher doses doesn't help that much more, ill see if i can find it.

You can google the side effects, I would watch liver and kindey values in labs too. IMO

I personally get cystic and nodular acne. Oxy pads with added alcohol and Bactrim-DS (antibiotic) work fine for me.

If you start to feel depressed, or experience any other changes in your mood or behavior while taking Isotretinoin, it's very important to talk to your doctor straight away.

Do people ever check back on their threads or does their ADHD think this place is a Google search?
