Hello all, I am currently taking 80mg a day and am 1.5 months into my course. Today I realized I am going to be overloaded with homework this weekend and started to feel stressed (this is normal because I take IB classes fml lol) anyway, tonight my feeling was more of a low feeling. Maybe mild depression? I've never had depression before so this is totally weird to me. I really don't want to quit accutane because I know it's going to clear my skin. Would dropping my dose back down to 40mg help? Any words of encouragement would also be appreciated
It's normal for everyone to feel "low" once in a while especially if your stressed out however if this low feeling does not go away with in a week or two you need to go to your doctor!!!! Accutane can definitely cause depression sometime to the extreme!!! Don't mess around I your feelin low/sad/depressed for a long period of time but of it's just one night you shouldn't be worried yet, I'm not sure if a lower does might help of you indeed to get depression but I have a feeling if you tell your dr this they will just take you completely off!
