I'm not on birth control, but am on the accutane. You don't have to be on the medicine, you just can't get pregnant while on the medicine.

Your face will get dry, and your lips will get chapped...so be sure to carry plenty of chapstick and lotion for your face. Also, if you get pregnant while on accutane, it could cause severe birth defects.

I'm on that too. But you have to be prescribed to it by your dermatologist. And it also requires females to have pregnancy tests done.

But that medicine works wonders!!

I KNOW! I know I had to take the tests...every month actually, it was sooo funny. My doc hates me cuz every month I argue that Im not having sex!
