Can acutane lower my sex drive?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This is not a side effect specificall, but the medication does have a rather large side effect profile, and some of the side effects, such as fatigue, could lead to a decreased libido.

Not directly, but..: If you are taking it for severe acne, that may affect your libido mentally!
