For Acne "Solodyn worked amazingly. But, on day three, I experienced tiredness in my body physically. The day after I stopped taking it (day four), I was experiencing joint pains that weren’t pleasant. I thought this would be safer than Accutane, but it has some of the same side effects Accutane has. I don’t want to risk my health for clear skin. But remember, everyone reacts differently. You could have multiple side effects or none. Solodyn could work for you or it couldn’t. But if you ever do take it, don’t take it longer than three months, and every day, notice if you are showing any side effects. You are beautiful with or without acne. Don’t let your skin define you. Don’t let it rule over your life. You decide how acne affects your life."

For Acne "This medication has cleared my acne completely, but I have been having a ton of headaches, joint pain, and even gained 10 lbs in a month. I have been on this med for about 3 months. Finally, I thought, let me read some reviews and side effects, because I don't take any other prescriptions, and sure enough, all those side effects popped up. And after reading these reviews, I'm stopping them. It's unfortunate you take a med for one problem and gain 10 more. Very disappointed."

For Acne "When I was 14 years old and had been getting acne for a little under a year, so when my dermatologist recommended Solodyn, I was very pleased. But being on this medication for less than a week, I have to say I would not recommend it. The joint pain I got in my knee was unbearable, and it also gave me random anxiety attacks, as well as mild depression. Very disappointed.:("
