Jason Emer, MD · Answer

you need to talk to you physician the answer is YES but you need to have this coordinated with someone who really knows what they are doing. also you should be doing a cosmelan or enlighten peel before and then doing my accutane protocol of clear andd brillant, laseer genesis, and facials monthly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Morgan Rabach, MD · Answer

I recommend consulting with your dermatologist and making them aware that you are on anti-depressants. Accutane can sometimes worsen depressive symptoms, so it is essential that you make your physician aware of this before pursuing treatment. They will be able to make the best decision knowing the rest of your medical history.
