I was put on Roaccutane at 15. My skin was clear after stopping but my acne came back with vengeance around two years later. I was very lucky that I didn't experience a "purge phase" and I didn't suffer from the dreaded dryness I heard about HOWEVER the mental side effects I experienced were horrid. Not only did I feel depressed but as if I was going insane. I also had some bad bowel side effects... I'm now almost 21 and still suffer from bad acne all over my body, nothing has worked and yet despite my terrible experience with Roaccutane I'm so tempted to give it another go.
