Is isotretnion really that terrible if you need it at 20mg?! i'm terrified now. i already experienced the initial breakout 2 months in.

Isotretinoin: Is generally well tolerated but you have to make sure that you would not get pregnant while taking this because it can cause serious and severe fetal anomalies.
