Isotretinoin (accutane) Information & it's Side Effects.

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.
