Interview with Dr.Robin Gehris on Accutane (Isotretinoin)

Ohh, dermatology appealing to psychiatry for medical ethics. Hahaha.,. dumb bitch.

take it you will feel so much happier.

bollocks. you knew what youd be putting yourself through by opting for accutane so you wouldnt decide to put yourself through this shit if the acne wasnt causing you to be depressed in the first place.

i threatened to kill myself multiple times and had alot of depression
i had pretty much most of the side effects.
but im in month 2 now and the side effects are going away

im on month 4 and my acne is still not clearing dramatically i have alot of depression with school contributing alot. you've just gotta keep your head up and know that when we finish everything will be better again!

Accutane messed up my liver

would you mind if i asked you if u drank a lot while taking accutane?meaning alcohol? because i heard one of the side effects could b liver failure but i also heard this is only true if u consume alcohol while taking this drug.

So should I take it or not, my doctor is going to make me take it and he wants me to choose.

I really wouldn't be scared, its extremely rare to develop those side effects about 0,1%. But seriously Isotretinoin should be a last resort if everything else fails because the side effects are pretty harsh. I've been taking it for about 2 months and it works miracles, I've only gotten some dry skin and my lip keeps breaking with soars which is annoying :p

thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me! :) and im really happy 4 u and i hope everything will keep on going well for you! Also, its the fact that i had 2 surgerys and im scared that it may weaken my bones even more, especially since i cant drink muscle milk as much because it contains vitamin A and accutane has vitamin A. too much is bad 4 the skin, and ya im still recovering from the surgerys so idk!
