Any one here been on Accutane? I’m currently on Sprionolactone/Tretinoin combo for the second time to help with my cystic acne, which I’ve dealt with for many years. The first time I went on this combo four years ago (when I was 18 or 19), my skin got much worse initially, then cleared up completely. I’d never seen my skin looking so healthy since I started dealing with acne in middle school (cue biggg boost in my self esteem). I stopped taking the pill when I studied abroad, and within 6 months all my cystic acne came back. I’m now on it for the second time and it’s working slowly, but I worry that if I was to go off it again everything would come again. The spiro pill makes me incredibly dizzy and I don’t want to be on it forever. I’ve heard accutane is really the only permanent solution for people with persistent, prolonged acne. What were your experiences with accutane? Did it work for you? Is it worth it? Are there other solutions I should try before I try accutane?
