I don't believe I had any permanent effects from taking it. I had very chapped lips, skin that was very sensitive to the sun and heat, and super bright yellow piss, but I think that's it.

I think a big reason I, and a lot of other guys at that age, had acne was because I didn't know a lot about hygiene. I'd get home from basketball practice and wait 30 minutes or an hour before I took a shower. Or I wouldn't wash my face immediately when I woke up. I just wasn't conscious about whether my face was oily, because I wasn't used to thinking about it. It's a big step going from being 12, 13, 14 and not worrying about acne to being 15 and having to battle it hardcore. Now, at 22, wash my face a couple times a day--anytime it starts to feel oily--and immediately after I work out, wake up, or whatever, and I use body wash in the shower.. Normal shit like that that everyone does is difficult to learn for 15 or 16 year old boys who generally aren't taught about hygiene the same way girls are, and who need to know just as much about it. I had to learn on my own really. But that was me being raised by my single mother in my semi-dysfunctional home.
