I seem to be losting a lot of weight/ strength on accutane despite how much I exercise or eat and my appetite is low... As a male who works out, this is worrying to me ... I was told this can be a side effect from tane (im 3.5 months in).. has anyone else experienced this? Because I may make my derm appoint sooner.

Well I'm tiny anyway I only weigh 48 kgs now and I noticed I might be getting smaller which sucks because I want more weight and I eat very well. I say eat lots more tuna and eggs(not too many eggs because the yolk is very high in vitamin A)

Try a multivitamin, magnesium supplement and vit b12 supplement. Those three should help immensely for the fatigue. As for the weight loss WAHOO cant wait to start now haha.

- Interests:I'm currently majoring in biological sciences and minoring in Mass communication in Nanyang technological university. I'm studying this both because I have loved biology since my secondary school days and since then moved on to like microbiology and genetics but I hate biochemistry and biophysics and anything mathematical. I started taking mass communication in my sophomore year, wanted to minor in psychology but after crashing my friend's class, I realised that mass comn interests me more.<br /><br /><br />My interests include watching Television, hanging out with friends, swimming and playing tennis. I am currently into martial arts and am taking Tae Kwon Do. <br /><br />I am a christian, used to be Catholic, now Evangelist<br />I have a younger brother 5 years younger who doesn't have acne problems. I am also kinda short only 4ft11, 149cm so I dislike people who make fun of my height.

I also lost quite a lot of weight, from 7-10 pounds. I currently weigh only 92 pounds as oppose to my previous weight of 102 pounds before I started accutane. My clothes also don't really fit me anymore. About the tiredness, it should pass after the first month. Mine passed after a few days. I currently don't feel tired anymore.

I've experienced the energy loss but not weight loss, if anything I've put weight on during my course. I probably eat more than iI have in the past and I am exercising less. Though I've recently started back at the gym.
