teens and accutane

Anyone out there have any experience with putting their teen on accutane? 17 yr old dd just started the drug a few days ago. You hear such scary things about the side effects, but our dermatologist didn't seem to be very worried. Said the majority of kids do fine on the drug with only dry lips being a nuisence. He's never had a patient have any real problems with taking the drug. We've obviously tried everything else..... all spectrums of antibiotics, birth control pills, retin A, tazarac...etc. Hoping this works with no ill effects ..... Just a little worried...

Unfortunately I suffer from adult acne and I belonged to a community online that talked about accutane a lot.
Good luck, and it was a blessing for me!
