Hello Klavot,
I took roaccutane whilst going through a terrible depression a few years back. There wasn't much choice, because I got a horrendous attack of acne that was leaving bad scars. I didn't notice any worsening of the depression with roaccutane, but then I was taking a low dose, only took it for 4 or 5 months, and was on an anti depressant at the same time. Also, the acne was so bad that it was contributing to me feeling even worse on top of the depression, and I was so relieved when it got better that I may have a somewhat biased opinion. I have heard of someone who became depressed whilst on roaccutane and thought the meds could have been the culprit.
