hi so im new here

im pretty desperate since im actually reaching out on something like this

so heres my story

im a 17 year old going through stuff that 17 year olds do I have a supportive boyfriend who loves me , a mother who adores me ,a father that would rather be in a different country and thinks that buying me nice stuff makes up for the fact that he hasn't been there for the past 10 years

I used to be depressed for About 3 years along time ago but I managed to pass it

but lately I have been taking something called accutane if you haven't heard about it just type it into my friend google but basically one of the side affects is depression mood changes and suicide attempt and knowing my record this isn't a very good sign for me , and the past few days I've been noticing a huge shift in my moods and I kinda have just not been feeling like myself and as if im slipping into that person I was for those 3 years

any advice or just someone I can talk to?

I don't want my boyfriend or mom to freak out

if you did actually read this then thank you I honestly don't know what to do

well....this sounds pretty darn serious and I would stop taking this stuff immediately and call your doctor asap...here's some of the side effects I read:

This medication is used to treat severe cystic acne (also known as nodular acne)

Tell your doctor right away if you have any of these unlikely but serious side effects: mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, aggressive or violent behavior, and in rare cases, thoughts of suicide), tingling feeling in the skin, back/joint/muscle pain, signs of infection (e.g., fever, persistent sore throat), painful swallowing, peeling skin on palms/soles.
