A member asked:
Monocycline and doxycycline have caused depression. should i risk accutane (isotretinoin)? what are my other options?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accutane: Accutane has been associated with risk of severe depression, including suicidal ideation. You need to discuss this frankly with your physician, and have care plans in place for any eventuality. Your physician can work with you also to develop other options instead.
