Special warnings about Accutane
Stop taking Accutane and notify your doctor immediately at the first sign of
a skin rash or any other allergic reaction. Although they are rare, serious
and even fatal allergic reactions have been known to occur.
When you first start taking Accutane, it is possible that your acne will get
worse before it starts to get better.
Accutane may cause depression or other mental problems. In rare cases, it
has prompted thoughts of suicide. If you begin to feel depressed or become
troubled by suicidal thoughts, contact your doctor immediately.
Before starting Accutane therapy, all patients must sign a consent form
noting that they are aware of the possibility of mental side effects, the
danger of birth defects, and the need for certain other precautions.
If you are a woman of childbearing age and you are considering taking
Accutane, you will be given both spoken and written warnings about the
importance of avoiding pregnancy during the treatment. You will also be
asked to sign a second consent form noting that:

but later on..you say he "also took zolft"......ie...he was already
depressed??
did parents want acne treated?? knowing that son was already
depressed...thus on zolft
folks need to take responsibility for telling one doctor what another has
prescribed
in this case...it was the combo...
naturally Janster simply screams "evil organized medicine"
thought they taught 1 + 1= 2 in preschooler Janster

How does one determine if accutane caused suicidal thoughts? Maybe having
big zits does that?
