“The horrific accutane side effects exposed so you don’t have to live through them”
from an ex-acne sufferer
Before I finally cured my severe acne I researched accutane to death. And I’m telling you… when I discovered some of the long-term and sometimes permanent accutane side effects…
They scared the @#!* out of me!
Thank God I found out about them before taking the drug. So I’m revealing them all to you so you don’t have to live through them.
As you read through them keep in mind all these side-effects are admitted by Roche…the manufacture of accutane.
The minor ones…
- Chapped lips
- Dandruff
- Dry skin and itching
- Dryness of the nose and nose bleeding
- Irritation of the eyelids and persistent feeling of dryness of the eyes
- Rash
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Blurred vision
- Mood changes
- Severe stomach pain
- Diarrhea
- Rectal bleeding
- Yellowing of the skin
- Joint and muscle pains
- Delay in wound healing
- Hair loss…often showing up years after the drug is discontinued.
- Increased sensitivity to sunburn
- Decreased night vision
The more serious ones…
- Depression and thoughts of suicide.
- May increase the level of blood fats, sometimes to risky levels.
- Hideous birth defects. And these have been associated with pregnancies long after the drug was discontinued.
- Permanent loss of vision. Accutane can cause the retina to become “rough” leading to blurred vision. This is very often permanent.
- In high enough doses this drug can cause the growth plates to fuse…stopping growth.
- And it has been linked to crippling arthritis.
Roche denies none of these side effects. They know the drug is dangerous. But they make so much money selling it they don’t really care.
Please, please hear me…if you listen to nothing else, please hear me on this one…
As painful as your acne is right now, accutane is not worth the long-term side effects you’re going to have to live with your whole life.
Nor is it necessary.

I was on accutane 10 years ago, it worked so well that all my friends that had acne took it, none of us had those side effects. Let’s face it everything in life that you do will have side effects some good some bad. Chances of those effects are rare, it’s worth the risk trust me. Taking this drug was a big turning point on my life in a good way.
When you work WITH your body there are never negative side-effects. Fighting your body using poisons like accutane will always produce side-effects. The only question is in degree and when.
SO WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR ACNE – cyrosurguical destructiopn, eletroreplating. Believe me accutane is the nicest of the cures for acne.
Fighting with your body cures NOTHING. My recommendation for acne is to work with your body to correct the root internal problem causing it. Accutane sure as hell can’t do that.
