Accutane and anxiety

Supposedly this can be a side effect, but in all my years, I've not seen it. However, if you read pretty much any medication bottle, including Advil, Tylenol, etc. "anxiety" can be caused by taking it. Of course, anxiety can also be caused just by life, so that's why it's included on pretty much everything. Low dosages of Accutane really don't have many side effects, in my opinion.
