accutane depression

Accutane is known for keeping a patient's skin clear for a long period of time after completing the required prescription dosages..A prescription treatment may be more effective for your skin when compared to an over-the-counter acne medication.
common accutane or roaccutane side effects include colitis, inability to see clearly at night, hepatitis, and increased levels of lipids in the blood. Accutane may sometimes increase the level of blood fats to risky levels..Experts agree that acne can lead to depression and anxiety. Studies clearly show that teens that suffer from acne are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety.There have also been claims that Accutane causes serious depression, but no such claim has been medically proven. I myself didn't suffer from depression when I was taking the drug; I was just disappointed that it didn't work out.Using Accutane, the pores will not become plugged and hence oil can flow freely to the skin surface. Also the amount of oil is reduced as Accutane temporarily re-regulates the oil gland to produce less.Serious side effects from Accutane are liver and pancreas damage, depression and brain swelling. Fortunately such cases are rare and can be reversed when one stopped using the medication.Natural peels are also said to be helpful in treatment of acne blemishes, large pores, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and reducing acne scarring. They are also said to diminish fine lines, improve the texture of sun damaged skin and dark spots.
