Shocked

I am sorry, Blue... but I cannot caution anyone enough about
that drug you took. Even at low dose. It is very dangerous, and more and more nasty things turn up with it. It is very close to being taken off the market in US in fact.

Damage to muscles, lipid derangements, leading to CNS damage,

Just type in Accutane warnings or toxicity into Google. As the years have passed more and more diverse damage has been documented!

It remains an important anti-cancer intervention for some childhood cancers, but for acne...it is just not worth it IMO.
