On week 14 I believe of Roaccutane and over the last month I have got the worst ags under my eyes! I look exhausted all the time, very aging!
Has anyone else had this issue?
I did notice early on in the treatment that I had big black circles and now it's bags. My eyes are generally quite irritated, but I've been lucky with side effects besides. The drug hasn't affected my energy levels or anything like that.
Could this be because of thinning skin? Really eager to hear from anyone with same problem!! I look haggard!!!
Hi, I Started my course of roaccutane 20mg at the start of May and had very little side effects apart from the obviously dry lips and skin etc. at the start of September I was on 60mg daily and started to notice dark bags under my eyes and regardless of how much sleep I had they stayed the same. I finished my course in October and still to this day have the same bags under my eyes. I defiantly didn't have this problem pre roaccutane and it's making me feel self conscious and wish they would go away. MY brother took roaccutane a year before me and experienced the same thing but his have got better with time so fingers crossed! Btw, roaccutane worked wonders for my skin. Been clear for 5 months!
Have the same side effect - really tired looking due to eye sensitivity and bad under eye circles.

Oh dear! I guess something like bags under eyes would take a while to resolve though, after all they took a while to appear! I'm sure they will be fine like your bother's. I spoke to someone else I know that took Roaccutane and she had same issue but fine now. Mine are not as bad now either, every time i start getting side effects they seem to resolve quickly. But still i do have some bags for sure that weren't there before
Brill you have had a good result! Mine is really clearing now too, I cant stop looking at my face! Makes such a difference to overall appearance. Approx 2 months to go!
Thanks for reply also. It seems to be quite common, v weird. As I was saying in my otherreply above, mine seem to be improvingand my eyes are not as irritated generally. My skin is also clearing loads, yay!!
