"this drug is dangerous. i am a healthy 22 year old guy. around 2.5 months into a six month course of 60mg/day roaccutane i developed severe depression, anxiety and psychosis. i have no family history of mental illness and had never been depressed in my life before this. everything caused me to panic, i couldn&#039;t leave the house or even talk to my parents. it felt like the drug had taken control of my mind. i shook uncontrollably and couldn&#039;t eat or sleep. for a week after stopping, i could barely function without breaking down.  this drug will improve your skin, but trust me, its not worth it, however desperate you feel. think carefully."
