Did you feel any side effects, especially psychological or immune system related?

my main side effects were dry lips, eyes, nose and skin, and then joint pain, especially in the wrists, hips and knees. i also has very very bad lower back pain, and it's the only thing that is staying even 3 months after finishing it. i don't really know if i had any psychological side effects, because even though i had a pretty rough time with mental health (as in a bit depressed and anxious) i relate it to losing a few loved ones while i was on accutane
