Accutane and Depression

Parents have been reporting Accutane depression symptoms in their kids taking the extremely strong acne medication. A direct correlation between the acne drug and depression has not been founded, however Accutane depression is a cause for serious concern. Instances of Accutane depression have been possibly a contributor to the hundreds of suicides that have been reported in Accutane users.

In 2000, reports that Accutane depression occurs made enough of a stir to result in a congressional hearing on the matter. Talk of an Accutane withdrawal has been on the forefront for many years, because in addition to a possible link of Accutane depression, Accutane causes birth defects and fetal death. Accutane depression has not been established though the risk may be present and all Accutane patients, doctors, and families should fully consider the possibility of Accutane depression occurring.

If you or your child has been adversely affected by Accutane results, please contact an Accutane Lawyer to learn more information on Accutane depression and your legal rights.
