hicuphinduchest 0 Share Posted February 19, 2007 all the time. ugh. but you should still finish your course, cuz i hear you go back to normal when it's done. it really sucks though, doesnt it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxygoddess 7 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I felt that way a few months ago, and I'm not even on tane yet. I went to my doc and he thinks I have mild depression, so maybe you are suffering from an Accutane-induced depression? I am planning on getting a mild antidepressant soon to help me, especially since I'm going on Accutane in about a week and it could make it worse. Hang in there, you should see your GP and ask for something to help you through this annoying side effect so you can finish your course and not do any harm to your relationship in the process. Trust me, I'm still trying to mend the damage I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaz (charlotte) 0 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 i've looked in the medical book at home and the symptoms seem to look as if i have anxiety. i have this awful feeling in m stomach all the time. and i feel shaky. i just over 3 months on the course. i'm off to the derm luckily tomoz. this is not me. i'm a bubbly person!! but i'm low. ppl are seeing a change. all i wanna do is cry! xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenn221 0 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Not worth it IMO. If your doc says accutane is what's causing it, I personally would stop treatment imediately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
answerme 0 Share Posted February 22, 2007 hi chaz! i've experienced depression and loss-of-passion-for-anything even before my course but i did notice that there were times during my course when they were at their worst. i took certain vitamin and mineral supplements and ate healthy foods like green smoothies to help handle the problem.this thread might help:supplement and depression Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaz (charlotte) 0 Author Share Posted February 22, 2007 thanks for your replies. ur right...its like passion- for- nothing-. dont wanna eat, sleep, etc. when i think of bad things i get really worried, like anxious. my bf looked after me last night. luckily i havea great bf who will stick with me thru thick and thin. i'm off street dancing to night. i find that exercise helps forgetting about stuff. i have 5 essays, 1 presentation and a report to do. argh everything is on top of me. felt much better today tho...until now...maybe its the morning tablet kicking in. going for my hair cut soon so that will make me feel better. got 5 months left of the treatment, the doc didnt want to up my dose and they said that they will keep a closer eye on me e.g, getting appointments earlier than he would have originally gave me. hmph why do us lot have to go thru this? love chazxxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matheus 0 Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'm taking anti-depressant medication because of Accutane. Once I finish I'm going to come off of it and then get a detox. I know what it's like. It sucks that it can make you feel low. Try eating aphrodisiacs and doing yoga. They make me feel good when I'm down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chaz (charlotte) 0 Author Share Posted February 24, 2007 3 days of crying and feeling weird 5 days...i'm back to myself it must be a mixture of hormones and the accutane. i never get PMS so maybe its that but like serious PMS! i think am stressed too, and was also doing work experience for my uni course so wasnt gaining any money in on my normal job. my feelings for everything are coming back. he's gonna stick with me thru thick and thin and i'm so lucky. Also another thing that made me feel better... MACdonalds chicken nuggets lol and bingo lol lol. everything just feels so great to be back to normal. i didnt like the person i was becoming. i still have negative thoughts but they are like tiny thoughts now not as major as i made them out to be before where i just felt so anxious and nervous. thanks for replying and stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Charmed 1 1 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Dont feel bad, i myself have pushed people away, even my own cat. I don't want anyone hugging me, or touching me. What made me feel better was of course chocolate! although mickey d's chicken nuggets dipped in that honey mustard sauce sounds real good right now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
