was on accutane last summer and I experienced the following
chapped lips
dry skin
extremely swollen finger which turned purple (had to be taken off accutane for 2 weeks to take these other tablets for it)
I was quite fragile and sensitive/got a bit suicidal (nothing extreme, just depressed for a bit and thought about it, never actually went for it)
the results, well the dermatologist didn't handle me properly, after my 6 months were up, I didn't even get checked for an appointment to see if they worked. Accutane did help a lot though, but I wasn't fully clear on the main spot bit (which was my back, my face was alright), I blame it on the fact my dosage was too small. I was on 40mg then lowered to 20 due to the swollen finger, I should of realistically been on 80, for my size and the amount of acne I did have.
