In reply to accutane bipolar, posted by jnld5 on July 15, 2006, at 12:24:35
> Hi! I was wondering if you can take accutane while bipolar 2. I feel great now since I've been diagnosed and put on meds. Thats the problem. I know it would NOT be an option if I was feeling like I used to, but I feel like my old self again. (twenty years ago!) I dont want to trip up my progress. I'm considering accutane only because I've had acne since I was 15 and I'm 32 now. This is a loaded question only because of different opinions, I'm assuming, but would love anyone's input. Thanks!
You obviously know the risk involved with Accutane producing depression. I don't know if medication acts to prevent this from happening. I suppose there are no guarantees. Have you considered doxycycline?
