Accutane AND Depression? [acne]

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Anybody already deal with mental health issues in conjunction with Accutane and have had a good outcome?When I went to the dermatologist for the first time many years ago, she never mentioned Accutane, we did the antibiotics, bp, clindamycin, and tazorac and it cleared me nicely but then a year went by and I had a flair up and went to a different see a different dermatologist because of insurance changes.The moment he walked in he was like "let's get you on Accutane now! Why the f haven't you done it before!" And he gets me all excited about a future with clear skin telling me all about Accutane and then he sees my file and sees I'm on antidepressants and he totally shuts that down!So I always thought that Accutane was out of the realm of possibility until I saw this other dermatologist because of different insurance again and she told me how she has had patients with depression and such that do just fine! She said they've just worked with their psychiatrist and it was all fine and dandy. I got so excited hearing this! But then my damn insurance changes again and I can't see that dermatologist anymore!!!With the pandemic I haven't been able to find a new dermatologist but I am planning on finding one and want to tell them I want to be considered in doing Accutane. I mean I'm mentally stable and work with a psychiatrist.I used to live in a pretty conservative state so maybe that was why that one dermatologist said that about Accutane and depression don't mix and it kind of freaked me out.Before I find a new dermatologist I just want to be ready for them to shut me down but don't want to go down without a fight, you know?! Hopefully I can find one receptive.There must be people out there that did just fine on Accutane, right?!I hope someone has a history of depression that can tell me they did just fine.Thanks so much in advance for any help!
