Acutane Model for Depression

Posted by linkadge on November 16, 2002, at 13:26:32

The acne drug Acutane has been linked to
CNS depressant effects that usually set
in after 6 months of use.

I have a theory.
Acutane is supposed to somehow inhibit the
production of oil to the skin, while not
having direct CNS effects, it possibly
inhibits the brain's utilization of fat
in some way. The drug literally dries out
the fat from the skin, perhaps this extends
to the brain as well.

Any comments ?
