I am also a registered nurse, and I did a 7 month course of isotrenitoin (one of 3 meds collectively referred to as Accutane). It gave me my self-confidence back. I was struggling with my self-esteem and depression related to my skin for years. I, too, was a bit hesitant to try the med due to its side effects and the cost of monthly lab work; however, my only regret is that I didn't start it sooner.
I'm not completely "cured:" that is, I still occasionally have breakouts. But now they are relatively small compared to pre-Accutane. And they're rarely ever the painful cystic ones that I had before. During treatment and for a few months afterward my lips were horrifically, painfully dry (to the point where they routinely bled) and my face and neck were extremely dry and peeling. Still worth every second of it for the results I've achieved.

I took accutane as a teenager and had to be taken off very quickly due to the side effects. I was depressed and spent an entire day on the couch crying. I would have terrible mood swings where I would be super happy one minute then lash out the next. It's pretty scary stuff. I don't know if the formulas changed since then but I would be very cautious.

I took it and had no side effects, but everyone is different. It cleared my face up totally. I had the worst problem with acne where I didn't want to go out in public. I loved Accutane and would go on it again if I had to.

I really hope you see this... Ask your derm about Spirinolactone. It is a blood pressure medicine actually, BUT... Take it from me, and my Mom...two rounds of accutane each was hell on our bodies and stopped working after a few years. This new medicine :::: my skin is like a babies butt. Please! Please! ask your doc to try spirinolactone first!
