Accutane and effects on female sex drive.

December 11, 2014
Asked By:Mlsgibson in Milton, VT

I have had acne since I was 10. I am now 31. Needless to say I have tried it all and I am in the one month wait period for accutane. My biggest concern is the effects this medication will have on my sex drive and natural lubrication. As I am getting older it is already harder to climax and I have some days where I need lubricant for sex. Will taking this take away my sex drive and my ability to have comfortable and pleasurable sex?
