If you are suffering from depression it is unlikely that your doctor will allow you to start taking a course of R because the drug has been linked with depression as a cause and could possibly worsen your illness.
There is also a risk that when you start taking R you could develop depression and it is very important that if you do start to feel an emotional change you tell your doctor! Every month that you visit your dermatologist for an extended prescription he/she will ask how you are feeling, there have been reported cases of suicide that have been related to R so it is with your best interest that you answer these questions honestly.
It's hard; acne is something that doesn't go away easily and all you ever want is to find something that works. I'd be a hypocrite if I said I have never put my ambition for clear skin ahead of my health, when you are so desperate to make something happen you will try anything.
Anyone who read my post about the dangers of acne medication knows that drugs of any kind are not something to mess around with, and R can cause as much damage as it can good so it is important to keep check of any changes (be they physical or mental).
