Hi there i used to be a very happy person, full of life and i was going to get somewhere in my life however things where to make a turn for the worse, i went on Accutane and now i have metal problems, now i cant look people in the eyes anymore because when i look then in the eyes i think of looking at other parts of their face, also im always thinking about my breathing at night so i cant sleep, ive lost my personality, my confidence i dont go out and socialise anymore like i used to, i never used to be like this not until i went on Accutane! and thats just to name a few, anyhow this acne drug has turned my life upside down and i dont know how to be my old self anymore? I wish i could turn back time and have my old ance back and just be my old self! Has anyone had the same metal problems sense been on Accutane? If so let me know? Also what else has Accutane done to you for the worse? Just to let you know i am going to get help for this, take care all thanks.

I have taken Accutane 3 times.I have never had any really bad side effects,but I was warned I could get depressed.I think you should talk to your family doctor and get a prescription for an antidepressant.Good luck.

STOP TAKING THE ACCUTANE IMMEDIATELY----going to paste my acne treatment anyways... I am sorry...:
THIS WORKS FAST & CHEAP!!!
I used Tetracyclin, Proactive, Retina A and had many expensive facials with less than good results.
This has worked for me and many many other happy people. Go to pharm.,Drug store, or Walmart,
buy "PURPOSE" bar of soap - Blue box - Made by Johnson & Johnson - wash your face with this
2-3x's per day. Also pick up a LOW strength Benzoyl-peroxide cream, apply the cream by dabbing
to the individual blemishes.... DONT rub it in works using a oxidation/reduction reaction...DONT over
use this or put anywhere else on your face.. It will cause drying and make you look worse. Also, If need
which probably will for moisture ASK FOR "NUTRADERM lotion" - the orginal not the new stuff, this works
great and wont clog pores or leave a residue on your skin...Additonal TIPS: acne, pimples, etc are
frequently cause by a bacteria or hormone issues.... DONT PICK POP POKE (your hands are the
dirtiest part of your body) and will cause: infections, spreading of germs, more breakouts and scarring
DONT EVER listen to people online who tell you to scrub your sensative skin or use harsh chemicals
such as: Lemon juice, vinagar, alcohol, etc... DONT EVER use that APRICOT CRAP!!! DONT USE
PROACTIVE- this is expensive and harsh it may kill the bacteria cause also Benzoyl based wash but
will irritate skin and cause bleaching of face and neck.... Other similar treatments may work.. also
things such as Accutane but have serious side effects.... THIS WORKS FAST AND CHEAP!!! I no
longer get expensive facials, take oral antibiotics, or even NEED makeup... I am very happy - Have
very good skin... and have many many other happy friends... THANKS again to my WONDERFUL
DERMATOLOGIST... TRY THIS!! GOOD LUCK.... PS. "PURPOSE" costs about $3

You need professional help, not Y!A. If a drug is having a negative effect on your life, the simplest thing to do seems to be to stop taking the drug....
