My daughter Amy, who is now 21, had problems with Cystic Acne on her back when she was 15 years old. The dermatologist put her on a course of Acutanne. She had her blood drawn steadily and they monitored her closely. The severe depression she went into from the drug was horrible. I know they are doing studies on the depression caused by Acutanne, just wanted to share that information.
