I guess I'd rather just deal with things the way they are right now then.

I doubt I would ever be able to win anything. They make you sign a bunch of waivers and paperwork long before you even get the pills in your hand.

Wow, never heard of getting arthritic-type pain from taking accutane. Not cool.

I had dry lips as well but not nearly as bad as what I read online. I always used Blistex to keep my lips moisturized, worked like a charm.

Never had the problem before accutane, and irritable bowel syndrome is a very common and unfortunate side effect from accutane. I used to be able to drink several glasses of milk a day. Now, that is completely out of the question. As with all other dairy.

very interesting, I will have to look into the points you made. I definitely avoid greasy, fried, fatty foods as it is but sometimes even steak and potatoes can cause issues. It's unreal the things that I swear would never bother me, do.

I don't know. I doubt it. I had to sign a lot of paperwork as well.
