    The most prevalent side effect of accutane is permanent sexual dysfunction but no one is talking about it because the victims are mostly young, ashamed, and in bad health. They are traumatised and hopeless and we need to consider if this has contributed to the many suicides. Do your research and please warn kids because permanent sexual dysfunction is not an acceptable side effect. If you think the Pharmaceuticals companies and the regulators don’t know about this you would be wrong – they don’t care! I should add that you should not trust your doctors – they are not the ones who have to live with the consequences, you are! You can probably find me by going to Repairing the Long term Damage from Accutane, Acne .org
    Nearly 200 deaths reported in the US by the year 2002 and still the drug is on the market. No one is warned that this drug causes you to commit suicide even after you stop taking the drug. If anyone knows someone who committed suicide whilst on accutane or even years later they should report it to the regulators.

    I appreciate doctor’s speaking up~however there have been plenty of studies to try to prove the negative effects of Cannabis only to not show any harm.  http://www.drugscience.org/sfu/sfu_longterm.html  Also Doctors and hospitals should learn and educate about  http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1361971-overview… Plenty of info out there….Opiates are awful and addictive… Looking for some integrity in medicine.
