Tretiva, aka Isotretinoin, aka Accutane:
SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects of isotretinoin are dry skin, itching, dry nose, nosebleeds (epistaxis), cracks in the corners of the mouth (chilitis), dry mouth, and inflammation of the whites of the eyes. Joint aches also are common. Patients may develop an increase in blood cholesterol and triglycerides. Psychiatric problems such as depression, hallucinations and suicidal behavior have been reported. Rare side effects include skin infections, peeling, sun sensitivity, hearing impairment and hepatitis. Rarely, isotretinoin can cause brain swelling (pseudotumor cerebri or intracranial hypertension), which produces nausea, vomiting, headache, and changes in vision.

I was high for 3 days straight off of this aerosol spray (not on purpose, I never used the stuff again afterwards) I was absolutely ZONED OUT the entire time, I had not one thought in my mind. Not only that, but I was so at peace and calm.... I did have a headache the whole time though. AND, I totally took off my pants in front of my sister and dad without hesitation, it didn't phase me -_- I literally changed clothes in front of them in mid-conversation, lmao I also got "involved" with pot once, I didn't have any hallucinations, I was just really happy and giggly.
