It Wasn't Good

A personal story in the experience: I Have Taken Accutane
A medicine that fights acne and causes depression is a funny thing because acne itself can be pretty depressive.  I stuck with Accutane because, to me as a 14-year-old, acne was a terrible burden.

When the six months were over, there weren't any results in terms of skin change.  At first, I didn't care:  I could see the world again.  Half a year of constant hate was like being trapped underwater.  The prescription ran out, and suddenly I took a deep breath of air.

Then, life returned to normal.  I started to care about my face again and got a new prescription.  It ended up working better.
