Accutane Adventure

Hi everyone. I’m brand new to Accutane, and I’m experiencing a few of the side effects–dry eyes, sleepiness–but that’s not what I’m asking about.Does anyone else have experience with Accutane and drugs for bipolar disorder?

I’m really bothered by this particular subforum’s title.Roaccutane is good for getting rid of acne – its a DHT inhibitor which is what we need – but not all over the body!I’ve had friends close to suicide because of the clinical depression which roaccutane can cause.I’d rather have acne than be close suicide!

Recently, though, my skin has been breaking out, specifcally in between my eyebrows and around my mouth. I’ve tried moisterizing and using Salicylic […]

This is my 4th week on 20mg of Roaccutane once a day, and I haven’t noticed anything beneficial. My skin is little red, dry, and my lips are chapped, but no improvement in the acne. In fact, I keep breaking out as much as before (painful nodular bumps on my chin). Is this normal? Does […]
