Accutane? I think I'll be avoiding that.Saltyk said:Well admittedly, insurance would be very nice in that situation.
Personally, nothing they did helped me for a long time, either. Then, they gave me some powerful medicine called Accutane, but it also has huge negative effects. I literally had to have a monthly blood test because it could affect your liver. Also, it's been linked to suicide. Oh, and terrible birth defects. Someone I know looked through a medical book and the medicine had a huge list of side effects. It's major stuff, but it gets the job done.
Well, it was actually a generic version. The actual medicine would have cost me something like $300 a month as my insurance wouldn't cover it.
While my inability to retain vast quantities of knowledge without understanding their underlying principles is the reason I left my university's nursing program, I do remember that accutane is the sort of thing from which I should stay away.
It's nice to know it really works, though, in spite of its danger.
