So I have been on accutane for about 2 weeks now. I had a lot of side effect so far. First I had stomach pain the first day I took accutane. On scale 1-10 it's was a 5. Not to painful. Then the rest of the side effect I'm going to list happend throughout the 2 weeks. I had dizziness, mood swings, back pain, pointer and thumb finger were numb for about 10 min. Leg pain, anger. So just from reading that do you guys think I should keep taking accutane? I call my derm she said keep taking it. I want to get rid my insane acne on my back and chest and neck and face, but I don't want to get clean skin. But then fuck up my life. Such as have depression and anxiety. Which havent had those side effect (praying I don't get those feelings effects). So can you guy tell me what you think.

I suggest you stop immediately. You derm really has no idea and should not be trusted because they do not listen to what patients are saying.
Accutane causes brain damage and the fact that you have signs already that accutane is affecting your brain is a very good reason to stop.
It's not just depression and anxiety. It's sexual problems and other lifelong health issues that you dod not get told about.
