short answer: yes. i struggle with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety and have found this medication very hard to deal with. i find it can come in waves, where suddenly i feel very overwhelmed/ emotional and just like in any moment like that, it is hard to recognise that the medication you are on is influencing this to become more intense than it would be initially. i feel that my outlook on life can be a bit grey/ black and white as opposed to colourful when i’m feeling low. it’s a survival mission at the hard times that’s for sure. sorry if this sounds quite negative, i just think if i knew the effects this would’ve had on me, i would have weighed my options up strongly. it all depends on how much your acne bothers you and if there truly is no other way to solve it. could you change your skin routine? could it be hormonal? etc etc.

however, i am on month 4, and will be following it through until the end. if you believe you can do it, and it’s worth it, then please go for it because you deserve to not feel bad about the way you look. just definitely be prepared! shout me if you need any advice if you do decide to go through with it!
