2. Psychiatric Diseases, Depression and Suicide
3. Central Nervous System Ailments
4. Liver Damage
5. Hearing/Vision Problems
6. Accutane Pancreatic Damage

Before trying accutane I would totally try Proactiv Solution!!  It is absolutely awesome.  I used the 3 step system since I had bad acne, and it totally cleared my fact.  Here is the website.  Totally recommend before I would start with a harsh, dangerous drug.
