okay, so typically I take my meds around the same time everyday, usually not off by more than a few hours. But lately I've been off by many many hours, like instead of taking them in the early afternoon, I've been taking them later at night like 9/10-ish.
Thing is, I've noticed an increase in the shortness of my temper... if that makes sense. lol...Like...I snap or something, and the little things make me mad. This has happened more than a few times now.
Ironically, the exact opposite of this is exactly what happened to me on my first meds--Adoxa.... the pill made me "crazy"...now... I feel as though the lack of the pill makes me go slightly crazy.
Usually, by the time I realize that I'm "on the edge" I'm hungry and need to eat anyways, so I end up taking the pill. But this is kinda worrying me. I know that the tane can change your brain chemistry and everything, which is why I'm worrying about this. I don't really wanna stop the tane, but I don't know really will happen..... Is it such an odd occurance that I kinda have to tell my derm, or is this just normal?
thanks for the replies! 
The pill does have a tendency to have some emotional side effects. So I would say this is normal.
yea, I know about the emotional side effects--- all of the other ones I took, I had them too, I think i'm essentially allergic to them now--mino most definately....but I'm just curious cuz this has only started recently.... :/
this describes me perfectly... but im told its normal.
lol, I'm almost basically like that normally, but the tane made me kinda mellow out, if you will....I don't get stressed out for things, like... tests...lol or anything, I just don't / can't seem to care... lol
Yep, normal. Moodiness, tiredness, brain fog/loss of concentration, etc... can be side effects. I have mood swings here and there. Just be aware of it and try to do an activity or something to help reduce it.
Hang in there.

I'm trying, I'm trying, lol ...Staying at work always helps makes me happy for some reason...but its when I'm away from there that I'm always like, short tempered .... And since it doesn't happen that often... :/ idk....
do any of you get sudden dizzy spells or something? ... I don't know if thats the phrase to use, but last night, I just felt so bad...like...I wasn't walking straight, my stomach hurt kinda, and I honestly felt like if I didn't have anything to eat in the next 30 seconds, I was gonna pass out. Now, I've fainted before, plenty of times due to low blood sugar & a hot / not enough oxygen around me to breathe it in, but my legs didn't get all rubbery or anything, I just got the same dizziness that I used to before I collapsed onto my mom...lol (Easter Sunday--my dad used to rush us, so I didn't have time to eat, and since I was smaller, I couldn't get enough oxygen in the back, and the last thing I'd remember is telling her that I don't feel good, and then essentially, falling right on her...)
this wasn't quite the same.
honestly, I actually did eat yesterday. I had food at about 2-ish, and then coffee with lots of creme at about 4-ish.... & a little chocolate bar at like 7/8 and then by 9:30 when I got home, I thought I was gonna collapse or something. So I got food, and tried to sit as much as possible. I think it went away after a little while, but I stopped keeping track--don't really remember much of last night after that :/
sorry this is a little long, but I don't know how else to explain it.
This is the second time in about 2 or 3 weeks that this has happened even though, the 1st time, I had JUST ate not even an hour before....
oh yea, these dizzy spells or w.e. they are, and almost ALWAYS accompanied by a headache--first one was bad, and last night, I think I was mostly sleeping it off.
could these symptoms be related? 
I've got another derm appt next week, is it really worth mentioning it? Last time I complained about not being able to concentrate on my school work, and forgetting stuff, she first asked if I went to see my doc about it, and I'm like... what doc? YOU'RE my doc.... and then she said something to the effect of I'd hate to take you off it after one month since you're improving so much on it. .... so basically, I shut up .... lol
Hi there I'm new to this site I was on a Accutane for 3 months The first month was great I took one pill a day at 40 milligrams My dermatologist was so impressed With my results. That she upped my dose Two pills Every 3rd day I started doing that on July 16th On August first however Something went wrong I took my 2 pills on The third dayAnd I went over and got me a coffee. Mind you When I was taking one pill a day I would drink coffee here and there With no adverse side effects, But 15 to 20 minutes After drinking this coffee On this given day August 1st I was freaking out Having chills Having really weird thoughts My mind racing A severe anxiety attack So I contact to my dermatologist as soon as I could And she told me it was due to the overdose of caffeineWhich made logical sense to me So she told me to continue the two pills But lay off lots of caffeine So the next Third day I took my two pills With Tons of water And healthy food... But unfortunately I started kinda feeling really strange againWith clammy hands Chills Freaking outNow just didn't make sense to me So I contact from my doctor right away And she told me and well Go back down to one pill a day like you were before At the beginning, But honestly you guys I stopped taking them To see if my symptoms would subside.I'm afraid to take it againI've been off of it four days now And I'm still having an anxiety symptoms I'm scared. I'm hoping eventually My symptoms level out Do you guys think I did the right thing And stopped Because of the symptoms I was having
