<p>Collegefortwins, in all honesty, I would switch dermatologists. My S’s dermatologist was extremely careful, and he took complaints very seriously. When S had headaches after a short time on Accutane, he sent him to an ophthalmologist friend for a thorough exam, took him off the drug for several months, and put him on a lower dose to start when S resumed the treatment. He warned S and us about suicidal thoughts. He did not downplay anything.</p>
<p>Your son’s issues need to be taken very seriously. The good news is - I think - that once your S is off the drug I would imagine he will be back to normal in a relatively short amount of time.</p>
