Hello Everyone,
I'm just wondering (and highly doubting) if anyone has tried this combination of medications. The one side effect from my lithium is really bad cystic type acne. Nothing works to clear it up but antibiotics, which I've been on for years now. I don't like being on these but feel I must.
One doctor I asked told me she wouldn't put me on Accutane (I hope I am spelling that right) because I was on lithium. But from my very superficial research that I've done, the only reason I could see for her reasoning would be that the Accutane could possibly make me depressed. Since I'd be on the Accutane only a few months, I'm willing to take that risk.
Does anyone have experience with this medication Accutane?
If so, did it make you more moody or depressed?
Anyone on lithium take this medication?
thanks,
Janice, still stable and happy :+)
