So I took accutane 3 years ago and went through 2 cycles and it pretty much did its job without any side effects except a few bloody noses from dry skin. I was talking with some friends though, and they said that it can lead to horrible side effects long term down the road. Does anyone know about this? |

Accutane is for the devil.. Many of my HS runners that are on it have major fall offs in performance. Wreck their knees and run like garbage. |
