Comment:
my son was on this med for acne. after a month it caused sleeplessness, hallucinations and depression. If I hadn't talked to parmachist and found out info on my own he could have ended up in a psych ward. Be very careful of long term use.

It's been almost 2 years since my daughter was prescribed this poison. It left her with permanant damage to her lungs, peripheral nerves, chronic fatigue and diarrhea. She was perfectly healthy before using this horrible drug.
