Re: helppppp - acne
yup it is the same thing! i have used it myself and it has severe side effects and i had them just abt at the end of the course but i didnt finish the course cuz of the extreeme headaches i use 2 get...
I wud like 2 advice any1 who uses it to be really careful and get yr tests done b4 and during the medication 2 c it doesnt damage anything...it took care of my acne bt i didnt think it was worth getting the side effects for...how can u treat one thing and get another one worse or something like that?. But i m just one of those very cautious person who researches b4 taking anything and sometimes having alot of knowledge can make u thing 1o0 things that wont happen 2 u but u get scared so thats y i stopped taking it after i had those headaches and once my bp shoot up or something so that was it for me. HOwever like i said it was abt at the end of the course...i had like only 1-2 weeks left and my acne was all gone only scars left....but after few months or maybe a yr it came back....so i dont know if there yet is a permanent solution for accuatne...but i have personally experienced that a good, balacned diet i.e havin yr fruits n vegetables n eating not 2 much or less and excercising really helps yr skin...atleast it is doing that for me....
Every medication comes with sideeffects.
And while these are really called miracle pills and im sorry that you suffered the headaches but in the end its the person who prescribed them to you who is at fault to not advice of you the care that needs to be taken with the medication.
The pills are designed to dry out the acne, in doing so they also dry out everything else although you donot suffer from dry skin.
Its best to take Vit C and B with the acne pills. Drinking heaps of water and introducing lots of veges and fruits in your diet.
Also a very good sunscreen is recommended and last but not least the doctor cannot prescribe these medicines if you are at the risk of suffering from any sort of liver failure.
Acne in the twenties/thirties is mostly caused by imbalance of the hormones and yes stopping the medication will bring the pimples back cause you are telling the hormones to run wild again.
