also, need to make sure to get follow up
testing per the accutane poisoning.Currently it looks like doctors are doing
standard blood tests for liver enzymes
and lipids.I just dug this up quickly.

But you ought to bring in good documentation
on toxic effects of accutane. (I'm sure there
is a more official web site with all the gory
details).Detecting any impact on the liver is extremely
important to know as this has *substantial*
implications for your psychiatric medication and
more.John
