[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea if this is true, but our dermatologist told us that most of the potential serious side-effects of accutane--depression and suicidal thought--happened in cases where people drank alcohol while taking it. She was as stern and thorough in her warnings of drinking while on it as she was about the importance of birth control or abstinence. Like others, it was amazingly effective for our DD, who took it when she was 17. Had some very chapped lips and sun sensitivity, but both were easily managed. [/quote] This is interesting - I was a teen on accutane (and I drank) and didn't develop depression but I can see how alcohol or drugs might add risk. My son will likely need accutane- so it's another good reason to double down on "no drinking" rules. [/quote]
