Does anyone had any experience with Isotretinoin?
It was good? Bad? I read about causing depression and im kinda scared about that. Im a bit depressed right now, and i dont want to worse that.

Yes. Took it for severe cystic acne around 3 or so years ago. Acne came back recently, but much less severe now. Considering going back again for a low dose. Had the typical side effects with dry eyes and dry lips. Skin completely dried out too (in a good way) and pores were 100% clear while on Accutane. My eyes and lips are still slightly dry, but not horribly so. Also, developed eczema which I never had before. I also have depression, the biological kind. Accutane didn't worsen it. I wouldn't tell your dermatologist to be honest, he might not prescribe it for you then. For me, it was worth it, even with the permanent stuff, but my acne was quite severe.
took it for two months and it changed my fucking life, its so good not worrying about my face all day and even my scars are beginning to fade, its nice.
everything is dry as fuck though i gotta moisturize daily and use wet wipes on my ass, but it was worth it imo.
depression set in during that third month so they took me off of it, but it had already done so much good for me that im pretty happy.

That shit is like magic. Took it for a year and I end up losing all my pimples and acne and had a smooth face. The only problem was dry af lips which can be fixed with chapsticks and drinking more water.
The side effects might be depression but getting that acne free face will probably lift up your spirit more than the depression side effects.

I live in hollywood and specifically went to a clinic that specializes in cosmetic treatments.
