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.
