Epstein took isotretinoin (Accutane), a medication for acne that has been associated with neuropsychiatric side effects including depression and suicide, before he died by what was announced as suicide while in prison. Epstein took a generic of Accutane: Absorica 20 mg
1/ EFTA00313973 This is the informed consent document of the I PLEDGE pharmacovigilance program signed by Epstein on January 14, 2019.
2/ EFTA00314241 This is a prescription of Absorica 20 mg for one month in the name of Jeffrey Epstein.
3/ EFTA00510293 This is Epstein’s electronic diary where is found the date of the cessation of his treatment, ‘Stop Accutane’ on May 16, 2019.
He may have taken another generic, Claravis, at some point. See email from Lesley Groff asking to change the prescription on January 16, 2019, based on his request (source jeevacation@gmail.com ).
A text message from April 2013 discussed the removal of a cyst on his shoulder (source: EFTA02120564).
His latest partner, Karyna Shuliak, sent a link on May 29, 2019, to a medical and scientific database where it mentions the possible “anti-aging” properties of isotretinoin. (source jeevacation@gmail.com). Since he used to hang out a lot with billionaires and tech bros who often have crazy ideas about reversing aging and living forever it isn’t that surprising that he would think a product to enhance the skin might serve that purpose.
Epstein made a first suicide attempt in prison on July 23, 2019, two months after stopping his treatment and already on July 6, the prison’s psychology department evaluated him because he appeared “distracted, sad and somewhat confused” (source: Federal Bureau of Prisons ).
