Accutane side effect symptoms include feeling sad, anxious, angry, irritable, a loss of pleasure or interest in social or sports activities, sleeping too much or not enough, changes in weight or appetite, drop in school or work performance, trouble concentrating. Some symptoms have become so severe that people have committed suicide.

Manufactured by Roche USA Pharmaceuticals since the early 1980's, Accutane was developed to treat severe nodular acne. However, the use of Accutane has been linked with serious side effects. Those include:

• Birth Defects: If taken while pregnant, miscarriages or premature births can occur. It can also cause deformities in babies.
• Mental Problems and Suicide: Some patients have suffered, either while taking Accutane or after stopping, from depression or have developed serious mental problems.

Accutane side effect symptoms include feeling sad, anxious, angry, irritable, a loss of pleasure or interest in social or sports activities, sleeping too much or not enough, changes in weight or appetite, drop in school or work performance, trouble concentrating. Some symptoms have become so severe that people have committed suicide. According to USA Today, approximately 66 cases of suicide and over 1300 cases of psychiatric problems by Accutane users have been reported to the FDA as of December 2000. In 1986, Accutane's warning label stated some potential risk of depression linked to the drug. French officials required the manufacturer to add the risk of suicide to its European packaging in 1997. The FDA did not require the US version to be modified until 1999.

Finally, in 2001, the FDA announced that new warning labels and consent forms would be required for Accutane users. The form urges patients to watch for signs of depression.
