I self-destructed too while taking Accutane. I did all sorts of crazy things - stuff I would never ever do. Sometimes I can't believe it. Has anyone heard of any lawsuits about this? I heard that some guy is suing because his son committed suicide because of Accutane. Maybe I should sue them too. They sure ruined my life.

There is a much bigger picture to the drug Accutane. I just hope you don't have to watch a child go from being on top of the world to being suicidal. At the time my son started treatment there was no information on the possiblity of depression. This came out during the 4th month of his treatment and by then the doctor was very interested in hi depression. Apologizing for not knowing the consequences of him taking this. Spoonyluv, you need to have compassion for this section of the board. You cannot assume that this happens to everyone. Please have some respect and perhaps leave this section of the board to those who have suffered. Your attitude shows me that you like to show how much knowledge you have when in fact you have very little. I am sorry you feel you have to humilate and joke at a very serious board.

i am glad i was not nuts. i see i am not the only person who engaged in extreme self-desructive behavior! i did all sorts of crazy and life-threatening activities while on accutane! i am so lucky to still be alive and disease free. someone must have been looking out for me, however some are not so lucky. but me, a loving mom, totally neglected my kids while on accutante too. i let my home to go pot. i became homicidal also. i am so glad a friend of mine, who told me i became 'weird' had me see a counselor. she admonished me to promise i would not pick up the gun i ordered. i had never ordered a gun before! i see that class-action lawsuits are abounding for those who have actually killed. what about us who have to live with the pain of our accutane-induced actions? we deserve soem compensation. i need some help paying a counselor for my kids now. i was a nut of a mother for over 6 mos. that hurt my babies.
also, does anyone else know of the physical attributes accutane bestows upon people? i have develoepd jowl-like creases in my face while taking the drug. they never went away. an 18-year old pal of mine also developed the same exact facial defects that never went away. she looks 20 years older now.
how many other victims did thsi happen to? is there anybody out there to help us?

I took Accutane and it did clear up all my acne. But about 6 months into treatment I suffered a serious psychosis and wanted to kill myself. Luckily, I stayed strong and decided to see if my mental state would improve. After OVER A YEAR it dissipated and now, 2 years later I am pretty much back to normal. My mother has obsessive-compulsive disorder, but that is pretty much the only history of mental disease in my family. I don't have any mental issues anymore, and I live a great and normal life; but understand that for the year that Accutane seized my brain, the mental pain was unlike anything I had ever felt. It was the most supreme torture in my mind. I can't even explain the pain I felt. I don't why I chose to live, but now I am so glad I didn't do anything stupid like take my own life.

Accutane ruined my life, i was a professional athlete, now every day I think about taking my life, i am so depressed that i don't even see any sense in complaining to my doctor . i think every day about strange things. I would rather have the worse pain in the world and not feel like this,because when you have pain you have the hope that pain goes away, but when you feel this way , there is no hope.
