Hey guys!

thanks for taking the time to read my post I have had to resort to taking Isotretinoin after exhausting all other paths. I visited a Derm 3 weeks ago and have been prescribed Roaccutane for persistent moderate acne. She started me off on 40Mg a day for the first month and I™ll be increasing to 70MG for 3 months before finishing. My side effects so far are very small I have flaking skin my lips are maybe 1 out of 10 dry not bad at all and my oil reduction is fairly decent however I do not feel dry and  eyes feel quite dry if I™m tired !  However my mental health doesn™t seem right after  1 week I started to notice I felt slightly dazed at points throughout the day however I felt pretty normal for the most part. It™s now 2 weeks since I started and over the weekend I had pretty bad mood swings I felt normal for a few hours then really down and almost like crying... (I am a 21 year old Male) this is very unusual for me. anyway, I felt very strange today it™s like I™m dreaming  feel very spaced out and it™s making me anxious I have been reading the side effects and stories online about brain damage and it™s scaring me as my concentration and just general emotion feels very off...

i currently take a test booster (because isotretinoin lowers test and my skin will still clear even if I™m on this) and St John™s wort for a low mood I have used this for months.

my fear is its only been 2 weeks I still have another 3.5 months  go and my dosage wil he nearly doubled next month. 

FYI I have 0 sexual side effects  just feel very strange mentally and I™m also not enjoying the usual activities and struggling to find motivation.

any advice would be greatly appreciated I do not want to stop the drug as it is working already but I don™t want to risk my mental health long term
