Medications

I’ve started accutane 4th month in and noticed aggression, my illness declining I’m becoming stressed and deluded.

Not sure what affects it has maybe I should stop taking it, anyone been on it before? It’s to clear acne up

I want to keep using it so I’m cured I don’t think I got any acne now, but my mental healths more important I think I should stop the course

it worked for my acne i dont get any anymore except for odd pimple but my sister took it albeit a smaller dose and still gets pimples

Thanks I’ll stop the course now and if it returns I’ll take what I got left. Hopefully I’m praying that I won’t be so paranoid or stressed

I took it for about a year and stopped. I don’t get acne anymore. I had cystic acne which is a nightmare so it was worth it for me.

I took it as well in my late teens. It got rid of the acne. Only got psychotic at 24. Hence, I never took roaccutane and APs and ADs together?

ive stopped the accutane course and feel a lot more calmer a lot more normal, was only on 40mg for 3 or 4 months, not good i wouldnt advise anyone to go on it whilst suffering with schizophrenia
