Acutane Model for Depression
The acne drug Acutane has been linked to CNS depressant effects that usually set in after 6
months of use.
Acutane is supposed to somehow inhibit the production of oil to the skin, while not having direct
CNS effects, it possibly inhibits the brain's utilization of fat in some way. The drug literally
dries out the fat from the skin, perhaps this extends to the brain as well.

If they set in at all. Extremely rare side-effect.

"Possibly," "perhaps," pfui. If they had any actual data or some reason for this hypothesis, it
might be worth looking at.
