Does accutane cause depression?

[Broski]

Ive been on 40mg/day for 5 months and it has cleared my face 95%, upper back and chest are still bad but have significantly improved however I constantly feel lethargic and tired. I go to the gym regularly yet am feeling depressed still. Also noticed while on accutane my muscles are more sore, Ive barely made progress in the gym (progress i made in first 3 months of gym ive made in 6 months on accutane). Ive also become more moody/angry/depressed while on accutance. Anyone can relate?

Acne gives you depression, not accutane

Accutane is literally poison

It gave me the same symptoms. Never had mood swings before.

So why am I depressed when the acne on my face is gone

Go get validation from women and the depression will go away.

It could make existing depression worse.

Either way talk to your derm.
