On minocycline for nearly a year, experienced hair thinning, my derm is prescribing me..

...accutane. Thoughts? I've been taking minocycline for nearly a year now, I used to have pretty thick hair, just recently I've noticed that it's thinned out a bit.

My acne used to be pretty deep on my cheek area, it's gone now, I get the occasional few white head ones around the mouth area and my forehead has been breaking out a bit recently, so currently it's mild acne. My derm is going to prescribe me roaccutane by the end of this month when I get my cholesterol levels checked. I've read around that high levels of Vitamin A can also cause hair loss, should I go through this process?

And yes I know the information on here can't compensate for the info that the derm can tell me, and I'm going to ask him about the very same question, when I have my next appointment. I just need some reassurance on past experiences or any info.

thanks
