For Acne "I started using this medication... You cannot drink, need two methods of birth control, lips chap badly, skin gets dry and gets rashes, trouble going to the restroom, severe mood swings, always feeling sleepy and tired, started feeling depressed and suicidal. That's the possible downside... I started taking it about two years ago. My treatment only lasted about 4-5 months, had to cut my treatment short because of depression. It worked wonders on my skin. My skin was really REALLY BAD, BUT my dermatologist told me that if ever I were to get 3-4 pimples at the same time, to consult him ASAP. My skin had been absolutely clear for a year... a couple of months ago, I began to notice bad acne reappearing."

For Acne "I have been using Amnesteem for 5 months now, and I am about to turn 17. I have had many side effects, but the results are so far good. Before I started taking Amnesteem, I had a lot of acne, mostly on my face and back, all of my face has cleared up, but my back is not yet finished. Most of the side effects I had were itchy skin, depression, chapped lips, and feverish chills, but nothing that I couldn't handle. My skin has been greatly affected by this medicine, but in a good way. Lately, I have been experiencing a sore throat, but it is most likely not from the medicine. Even though I only have one more month of my Amnesteem left to go, I hope that it's the easiest one."

For Acne "This drug definitely works. Covered in acne before starting the medicine, it only took 4 months, and I am now acne-free. But although it worked very well, many of the side effects are awful. Dry skin is bearable, but as an athlete, the joint pains made playing my sports very difficult. But worst of all was the depression. After about the first month, the depression hit, and I rarely went a day without considering suicide for the next 3 months. It may work, but if you are going to use this medicine, be aware of some of the devastating side effects."
