> I took Accutane about 10 years ago, before it was connected to depression (otherwise I would never have taken it). It is a powerful drug but it did not make me depressed. I still have some acne, but not nearly as badly as before . My skin became very dry, but that didn't last either.

>You sound just like me! I took it about 15 years ago and it did wonders for my skin. I was diagnosed much later with PCOS (but always had the symptoms). I also have depression which started before the Accutane and continued afterward.
