my dermatologist told me that accutane manufacturers were another victim that fell prey to the greedy lawyers. The facts are simple with accutane, and this is how my derm told me: "in a sampled group of teenagers, there are 1000 kids in one group and 1000 kids in the other group. All had acne. 1 group of kids were on accutane and the other were not. The group that had more depressed teenagers were the group NOT on accutane. But, because of one or (more) kids who are TEENAGERS who are DEPRESSED naturally, killed themself, a mom decided to file a lawsuit and it went downhill from there.." He also said that the doses that they put kids on are extremely high, like 240mgs! Adult dosing is around 60-120. I was on 60 ed. for the first 2 months until I developed a rash on my fore-arms. Which tells the derm that that dose is working. But I opted to go up to 80. The last month (6 month cycle ed) was pretty hard and I had to lower it down to 40 for a few weeks cuz I was getting horrible migraines , was pretty tuff, but other than that, I was happy that I didn't break out! good stuff!
