Re: Accutane induced depression...different treatment?

Some various journal reports on Accutane induced depression:
http://www4.infotrieve.com/search/databases/results.asp?presearch=1&dbname=M&query=%28Isotretinoin%29+and+depression

Based on this

I guessed collegenase has something to do with acne. See the left bar on the first page of
http://www.cop.ufl.edu/vdis/bulletin/0199.PDF

So collegenase reduction increases collagen.
Perhaps the reduction of collegenase is more marked than the reduction of collagen with Accutane?

On collagen and acne:

Some more information (I fear that Accutane may affect enzymes which break down cholesterol and adrenal hormones):

For a potentially more effective treatment of acne, see

As for treatment, I strongly suggest that you see a doctor about getting every single one of your adrenal hormone levels checked out. Too much or too little of any of these hormones will point to potentially effective treatments. I am also guessing that your HPA axis is disregulated; mention that to your doctor.
