A member asked:
My girl is on accutane(20mg twice a day) for past one n a half month n she's experiencing dry stools, painful defecation, depression and crying spells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad side effects: Depression can be one of the serious side effects of the Accutane. Please call the dermatologist who prescribed it to her and report the problem. He probably will take her off the medicine and give her a different treatment regimen. Meanwhile, I would stop taking it until you get his advice.
