- Don't Smoke, The liver is exposed to heavy Hepatoxicity (toxification of the liver) while on accutane. Added stress will give you heart burn and can lead to worse things.
- Take Milk Thistle, Around 500mg a day and spread your dosage out. For example take 1 pill in the morning with Breakfast, 1 at night with dinner)
- Put on a lot of lotion, also facial lotion.
I don't regret taking it because my acne has been reduced to maybe a couple pimples every month and constant compliments of my skin. As for some of the sides, could be a variable of things but I have had slightly worse vision since taking it. Probably because of the beta-cartine blockage the Accutane causes, which is the base of vitamin A. Also I went through a depression for about a month for no reason at all. (Great social life, good friends, was boning a model at the time.)

I keep seeing commericals on tv about people sueing accutane for the long term side effects it can have on you
a kid i used to play baseball with used it back in the day and he would always complain how his joints were sore and we were in high school. Accutane dried his joints out bad

i could dunk as a freshman in high school, i started taking accutane in 10th grade, when in hindsight my acne was not even near warranting the use of accutane. then i could couldnt dunk anymore, and i felt more sluggish on the court. after getting off it my legs did come back but not until like the summer before my senior year. sucked hard
