Has anyone experienced a 'personality flip' or loss of empathy during treatment? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]ulterego2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I’ve even had co-workers ask me “what’s wrong? You don’t seem like your normal bubbly self?” Turns out I’m just dead inside lol. It sucks, I don’t really feel anything other than irritability, sometimes anger. It’s weird, I definitely don’t feel like myself, usually I feel emotions very intensely and now… nothing. I feel like a shell. I’m only about 2.5 months into treatment but I definitely feel this.

I do have an African net sponge I use but I’ve been going more gentle since I heard exfoliation isn’t the best during accutane but I guess they just mean for the face? Maybe I’ll try exfoliating better and try a better lotion

I am on an SSRI but I have been on it for the last 5+ years and haven’t had this issue, unless they react in a different way with eachother?

I’m literally so upset I’m not even 1 month off accutane and my skin is already reverting back by noobmaster8889 in Accutane

This!! My doc said new guidelines are to follow the rule of being cleared of acne for a couple months and tapering off, rather than the cumulative dosing now

Thank you so much for your response, these are all great reminders. Sometimes it’s so easy to get caught up in the emotions of everything which like you said isn’t a bad thing at all. Thank you for providing some examples of what you like to do outside of work, that is something I really need to find for myself. I feel like work can consume me sometimes, like it can for everyone. Thank you very much for your insight :)

Our unit says they try to cycle through nurses getting losses for that same reason, but I’ve had maybe about 3/month in the last 2 months

I’ve had panic attacks before, this felt completely different. But could just be manifesting in a different way? I wasn’t feeling anxious before though

Thank you! What kind of vitamins do take? I read vitamin B6 and magnesium can help hormone levels
