I know what you mean Bec - In australia, doctors do not get 'kickbacks' from prescribing, they are a lot stricter here about introducing new medicines without first knowing their effects and long term outcomes...

it just concerns me that there are some awful side effects if you get pregnant - as in, badly deformed children etc. It makes me wonder what it is truly doing to US, and what kind of long term effect it has, if it can do this to a fetus.

I am def. going to have to go back to my dr when I go back to australia, in my experience though, I've been to a dermatologist, and they didn't really have any solutions for me other than returning every 2 weeks for alternative light therapy or laser treatment.

I'm just tired of having bad skin. I suppose since I'm single the acutane might be an option, I feel like Ive been floundering with other, less strong options for years now, and even though they do work eventually, they seem to take quite a few weeks and I'm sick of reoccurrence.
