I was taking tetracycline for 1 and a half months and then decided to go on roaccutane. I started taking roaccutane a day after I took my tetracycline tablet. I discontinued tetracycline the day I started roaccutane. I have read that there are very severe effects of not waiting for at least a week after tetracycline before going on roaccutane. What do I do? Are the effects guaranteed? Does this increase my risk of any brain diseases?
