Hello, I have been on Acutane for approx. 45 days and have recently noticed a huge increase in my blood pressure. Yesterday it was 150/94. Today it is 140/102. In July of 2007 my blood pressure was 102/60. I want to know if the acutane has any thing to do with the increase in my blood pressure

Yes, It has.
Have you done a lipid profile test for checking your cholesterol and triglycerides level since you started using Accutane?
Have you checked your blood sugar level, too?
