Agreed. When I take my medication, since day one, it has always made me feel MORE like myself. I know that sounds strange but it's a sentiment I've heard shared by various people who use medication (SSRI's, etc.) in conjunction with therapy (CBT, talk therapy, mindfulness). It helps you learn to cope and get your anxiety to a level that is low enough that you can take action and not be too anxious to know where to even start. It can give you the upper hand and free you to face your anxiety and learn to manage it.

Accutane is a very potent drug and usually people only use it for up to 8 months at a time. Are you on a very low dose, or will you take breaks from it from time to time? It just strikes me as potentially dangerous. But I imagine it does have wonderful benefits for you.
