Is This Normal?

Hello all,

 

Hoping to get some good advice here from people that know about accutane. I just started my treatment four days ago after suffering from bad cystic acne since I was 13. I am currently a 17 year old male. I am on 40mg a day of Amnesteem, and after my 2nd day I started to notice I felt strange. I noticed that my head felt strange, but I don't have a headache. It kind of feels like I have a dull pressure on top of my head, I think the only way I could describe it would be the feeling you get when you stand up really quickly after laying down for a while, except it is constant. It is more annoying than anything, and I've read about the potential brain swelling that can happen and I really hope I don't have that. I read into a bit and I don't have any vision problems currently, and I don't feel like I have to throw up. I do kind of feel like I want to close my eyes though, so I don't really know what thats about. Also, I haven't been drinking as much water as some other people have that I've read, I think I had around 60 oz. of water yesterday. So if anyone can help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello! I'm definitely not qualified to give you medical advice, but it sounds like you might be dehydrated or have low blood sugar. I've think 64 ounces is considered the normal amount for the average adult, so try to get more fluids! Check in with your doctor if the symptoms continue.
