Accutane has always carried warnings for depression and birth defects, reciently the
depression warning was strengthened. I had a friend who took in and broke out so bad she could not leave the house. The end result was good, just be warned that if you look bad now you could look much worse while on it. Accutane often raises
cholesterol(fat in blood, ie LDL, HDL and trigl)
dramatically while on it. It is derived from vit. A, so don't supplement with vit A while taking it due to toxic issues. Women need to be on birth control if they take Accutane.James
