Accutane Long Term Issues

Hi

I have been on accutane 2 times. 9 months at the age of 16 and 10 months at the age of 18.

I have had many problems over the last 10 years like depression, insomnia, nocturia, stomach issues, eye strain and on.

Is it possible this drug did some damage?

Yes, the NIH does report that Accutane has been known to cause some long term ill health effects, including the issues you've mentioned, plus reproductive issues for women and fetal abnormalities, if taken while a woman is pregnant.

Are you on any other medications? Have you had these checked out by your doctor?
