I haven't noticed any long term effects for me. I guess I got lucky.

It started the thinning hair on me, and never really went away. Also, the chapped lips never got entirely better.

yeah...my hair thinned out a lot, and only got worse.

My skin is still kinda dry, too. but I just use moisturizer and carry around chapstick all the time.

The worst part, about 5 years later, my acne came back. It is by no means as bad as it ever was, but now, at age 27 I still get acne.

So is accutane the only med with these severe side effects? The only thing I'm concerned about is the thinning hair... It doesn't make sense to fix a problem (the acne) and to create a worse one (thinning hair)...
