It really messes with your moods. Have you discussed this with your doc?

I have been on it two and a half months I was a wreck way before that. The accutane was a must nothing else worked and the cysts were all over my face. They explained the risks of depression and suicidal thoughts. I had to get permission from my therapist and my psychiatrist to take it so I have been monitored. Hopefully I have two maybe three months. It has changed the way I looked at myself. I feel confident about my face before it made my sadness so much worse. The lithium really did a number on me.
