In reply to ANYONE EVER TAKEN ACCUTANE???, posted by KrissyP on March 4, 2003, at 20:10:42
> Hi all:-)
> Just wanted to see if anyone has ever taken Accutane.
My face is clear now, but I read about a Senator's son who committed suicide and with a history of a very happy young man. There were other factors I guess, but my point I am trying to make is that AFTER I discontinued a partial dose/trial of Accutane, the side effects were horrendous (headaches, chapped, split lips etc..was when I FIRST got really down. I mean really, really depressed.
> Does anyone think Accutane has after effects or have you heard any information about what I speak of here?
> Thanks, KristenI took accutane. It made me ache all over and I felt like a snake shedding its skin, but it didn't make me any more depressed.
I'm glad I took it. My skin gradually regained its oily sheen, but the acne is not nearly as bad.
