A member asked:
Are there side effects of isotretinoin that will persist even after discontinuation of the medicine? like ibd and depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Studies fail to link this med with IBD or depression. What is routinely seen is HAPPINESS as the acne resolves. All side effects are gone in 1 or 2 weeks. Do whatever you must do to QUIT SMOKING. The sooner the better. Do not delay.
