I've been on accutane for a month now. 20mgm/bid. although the usual dry skin and lethargy, i also noticed feeling a decrease in libido and difficulty in retaining an erection. what could be the cause? it started occurring only after taking accutane?

By PDR.net, libido decrease and erectile dysfunction are late side effects of accutane but the incidence is not known. These side effects are not mentioned in Drugs.com.

This is uncommon from Accutane. Best is to see your prescriber and get checked- sp. testosterone level. I think you will be OK
