I started taking Isotretinoin 25mg Capsules a few months ago for my severe acne, and I've had a mix of good and bad experiences. On one hand, my skin is looking way better than it did. On the other hand, some of the side effects have been tough to deal with. Anyone else on this medication? Let's share our experiences and support each other.

I think it's important to remember that everyone's experience with Isotretinoin is different. What works for one person might not work for another. It's crucial to have open communication with your doctor and voice any concerns you have.

I struggled with Isotretinoin a lot. The side effects were just too much for me, I had severe back pain and I had to stop taking it after a couple of months.

Has anyone else had issues with their vision? I've been noticing some blurriness lately, and it's a bit concerning.

I had to switch to a different brand of moisturizer because the one I was using was making my acne worse. It’s all trial and error, but definitely find what works for you!

I’ve been on it for a year now, and my skin is almost completely clear. But it's been a journey, lots of ups and downs. I wish someone had told me how much it would dry out my skin. I had to get a prescription moisturizer to keep my face hydrated.

I think it's worth mentioning that Isotretinoin can also cause some pretty serious mental health issues. I had some pretty intense mood swings and even felt a bit depressed at times. If you start feeling off, please talk to your doctor.

I've been on Isotretinoin for six months now, and it's been a lifesaver. My acne has cleared up significantly, but I've had to deal with some nasty dryness and chapped lips. I use a heavy-duty moisturizer and lip balm now, which helps a lot. Plus, I had to follow strict protocols with my doctor about birth control and pregnancy tests, it's a lot to manage! But honestly, it's worth it to see my skin finally clear up.
