You are not alone: Many complain of this problem. For some - it improves after stopping use. Let's hope your are one. It is a hard way to learn the importance of doing solid investigation of all substances we use for unwanted effects. Even then, choices can be hard - but possible. See a urologist to check what might be just a nocebo effect. Be optimistic - it will help.

See your md now: Accutane is a drug that must be taken under very close medical supervision and all efforts must be made to avoid getting pregnant. Low libido can be a manifestation of depression, which is a very serious known side effect of this drug and requires immediate attention. Call your physician today. If you are experiencing any suicidal thoughts, call 911 if your MD cannot see you right away.
