I've been on accutane for three days now, it seems like after the first day as soon as I take it i have to go to the bathroom really bad, it's like constipation and diarrhea at the same time, my stomach hurts from the gas. Should I call the doctor? Is anyone else dealing with this? Also my doctor isn't doing the monthly blood test for liver damage like it seems a lot of them do, should I get a new doctor?

Highly recommend liver testing through a blood sample. Not sure about the stomach upset, although a lot of people get ib from accutane, there might be someone you can take to combat that. Someone might be along soon to answer that question for you.

Make a point of getting a blood test at least every month.

It def sounds like something id be talking to my doctor about, certainly not ideal long term. X

I just thought for anyone having this same problem id update, after a few months it stopped. I had the blood test and nothing was wrong. My doctor didn't seem that concerned.
