I was given accutane when I was in high school.

I did not want it, but the the doctor told me it was totally safe and a vitamin A derivative so totally safe and effective.

It destroyed my night vision and even now I cannot see well except in bright sunlight. If it is cloudy and raining I will not even drive.

worse it made me want to kill people.

My daughter took accutane. It cleared her skin beautifully, but she still has side effects 10 years later, but not bad.. mostly dry eyes and nose. She’s now 26. My sister , who is 62 did it about 3 times I think.

Can I send you a list?

It never occurred to me that my poor night vision was due to accutane. In hindsight, I did fare far better before that period when I was 13. I regret that they conned my parents to this day.

Thanks for posting.
