It depends if you're prepared for the side effects. I took Accutane when I was younger and although it works, the side effects may make it not worth it for you. I had very dry skin, so where my face was flaky and I was always applying lotion and lip balm. It also made my skin very sensitive to sunlight and I burnt very easily. It made me a little nauseous after taking it, but that wasn't such a big deal. The biggest problem for me was that while it cleared my acne up pretty well (but not entirely), I was still self-conscious because of my dry skin and wondering if I had scaly flakes all over my face while talking to people....but that was only my reaction, people respond to medication differently.
